"Get out! Run! We must leave this place! They are going to destroy this whole place! Go, children, run first! Go now!" These were the final shouts nine year-old Kim Phuc heard before her world dissolved into flames--before napalm bombs fell from the sky, burning away her clothing and searing deep into her skin. It's a moment forever captured, an iconic image that has come to define the horror and violence of the Vietnam War. Kim was left for dead in a morgue; no one expected her to survive the attack. Napalm meant fire, and fire meant death. Against all odds, Kim lived - but her journey toward healing was only beginning. When the napalm bombs dropped, everything Kim knew and relied on exploded along with them: her home, her country's freedom, her childhood innocence and happiness. The coming years would be marked by excruciating treatments for her burns and unrelenting physical pain throughout her body, which were constant reminders of that terrible day. Kim survived the pain of her body ablaze, but how could she possibly survive the pain of her devastated soul? This is the story of how she found the answer in a God who suffered Himself; a Savior who truly understood and cared about the depths of her pain. A story of horror and hope, a harrowing tale of a life changed in an instant - and the power and resilience that can only be found in the power of God's mercy and love."--Provided by publisher.

"Kim Phuc, known informally as the Napalm girl, is a Vietnamese-Canadian best known as the nine-year-old child depicted in the Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph taken at the village of Trảng Bàng in South Vietnam during the Vietnam War on June 8, 1972. The photo, by AP photographer Nick Ut, shows her at nine years of age running naked on a road after being severely burned on her back by a South Vietnamese napalm attack. After a 14-month hospital stay and 17 surgical procedures including skin transplantations, she was able to return home. A number of the early operations were performed by Finnish plastic surgeon Aarne Rintala. But it was only after treatment at a clinic in Ludwigshafen, Germany, in 1982, that Kim Phuc was able to properly move again. She later studied to become a physician in Vietnam and Cuba. In 1992, Phúc married. On the way to their honeymoon in Moscow, she and her husband left the plane during a refuelling stop in Gander, Newfoundland, and asked for political asylum in Canada, which was granted. The couple now live in Ajax, Ontario, near Toronto, and have two children."--From wikipedia.org website.
