Fire Road

There are images from history that tell a story so dramatic that they're etched in our mind's eye no matter if we lived during that time or not. The 1972 image of Kim Phuc, who became known as Napalm Girl during the War in Vietnam, is one. With great skill, Emily Woo Zeller narrates the author's life after her village was bombed. You can't help but be drawn into this story as Zeller takes great pains to encapsulate the agony and loneliness the young Kim Phuc felt in the aftermath. But when sorrow turns to joy found in Christ, listeners hear the hope and excitement in her voice. The author makes clear that forgiveness extends in both directions, making the story of her difficult life an especially worthwhile listening experience. T.D.
