by Kristin Ostensen
Kim Phuc ran as fast as she could, trying to escape the bombs falling around her, but it was too late. A cloud of sticky napalm had engulfed her, burning away her clothing, scorching her skin. Forty-five years later, Kim recounts that fateful day, the aftermath, and her path to physical and spiritual healing in her riveting autobiography, Fire Road: The Napalm Girl’s Journey Through the Horrors of War to Faith, Forgiveness and Peace.
