Fire Road // REVIEW

I have had this one from @tyndalehouse for FOREVER and finally got to it... blown away by this story. I knew this iconic photo of the girl fleeing the napalm attacks in Vietnam, but had no idea about her story, and it is POWERFUL. This memoir was beautifully written and an incredibly moving story of forgiveness, faith, family, and healing... I couldn’t put it down and am in awe of her bravery and graciousness toward her enemies.

There was so much about this time period and the war that I was unaware of since it was before my time, and while this wasn't a comprehensive historical account, Kim did a great job of sharing important details and information that helped set the stage for her personal account. Her voice shines through every page here-- it wasn't a stuffy history book, but instead a vibrant and compelling story of horrific trauma, resiliency, and incredible recovery and faith. I found it beautiful and moving on every page, and was so in awe of her strength.

Phew, what a great read.
