RILEY'S FIRE
Southern Living, Jun 2006 by Barnes, Allison
RILEY'S FIRE BY LEE MERRILL BYRD (ALGONQUIN BOOKS Of CHAPEL HILL, $22.95)
El Paso author Lee Merrill Byrd tells the story of Riley, a 7-year-old burn victim. We learn about his hospital stay in Galveston's Shriners Burn Institute and follow him through his progress (and setbacks) toward healing-all from his point of view.
Throughout his ordeal Riley's mother and father stick close by, whispering memories about better days before he burned himself. His mother's greatest hope is that doctors will be able to put him back together. Riley's greatest hope is that he will once again lead the normal life of a kid-watching Superman movies and playing with his friends. In the end, Riley realizes that healing his outer scars represents only a small part of his new journey. -ALUSON BARNES
