When tragedy strikes, some
people fall under the weight of their loss. Some families sink into despair
and are shattered. But when nineteen-year old Delbert McCoy suffered horrible
burns in a fire set by arsonists at a teen disco, his family and friends
fought every day to save his body and his spirit.
Fueled by faith and sustained by love, they refused to accept the doctor's
prediction that Delbert's condition was hopeless.
During two and a half years in the hospital, through countless operations and
painful treatments, Delbert was sustained by his innate optimism and gentle
humor. His parents and friends rallied around him. His church members and
union coworkers donated blood and much more in order to keep him alive. After
his discharge, Delbert returned the love he had received. He counseled burn
victims and youth at risk, always sharing his sense of hope and his dedication
to hard work. Because of him, many youths stayed in school and out of trouble.
Although readers of all ages will be captivated by the suspense, warmth and
humor in Delbert's story, young African-Americans will find his
life especially inspiring. When they grow discouraged over life's many
obstacles and they feel their dreams slipping away, they will be strengthened
by his story of courage, hope and faith. The Fire In My soul shows that
miracles do happen as long as family and friends support someone who has been
knocked down and needs a encouragement to get through.
