Synopsis

Lee Merrill Byrd's first full-length novel is a product of personal experience. Riley came to the burn institute with third-degree burns on over 63 percent of his body.

"Against this backdrop of fear and pain, Byrd forges a riveting story that, in the end, is astonishingly uplifting." -People Magazine
