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.
