About this ebook

"The last thing I remember is the girls playing with my hair. It is curled on my forehead and they stroke it gently while I fall asleep. I wake up suddenly, my body wracked with hot piercing pain. I'm in a car that's hurtling through the night, and all around me is darkness. I'm lying across someone's knees. The pain intensifies and shoots hot, raking talons down my body as I hear hideous screaming. It takes a moment before I realize I'm the one screaming, then I drop back into the deep depths of blackness."

Dave Hammer is only five years old when tragedy strikes in the middle of the night on a long weekend. Horribly burned in a fire, Dave struggles to survive. This is the autobiography of a family's love, and one little boy's determination to live, setting the stage for an epic battle for life. Journey with Dave through the story of his life filled with inspiration and hope.
