love this true story....

I just finished reading this book The Girl In The Picture - Kim Phuc Story documented and written by Denise Chong. This true story has meaning and depth and is a about a 9 year old girl who lived in South Vietnam and was struck by a napalm bomb in the 1972 Vietnam War. A photographer took a picture of her just after she was hit...well then the story continues and alot of you many know of her ...well I won't say more, but Kim Phuc now lives in Toronto and still represents a powerful message to the world about forgiveness and peace and the ugliness of war.

THE GIRL IN THE PICTURE:
THE KIM PHUC STORY
A book by Denise Chong about
the "Napalm Girl" as she struggled
to reclaim her life.
