After the Flames

A Burn Victim's Battle With Celebrity

Jonathan R. Rose,

About this book

"A fast-paced, compelling narrative that goes far beyond the headlines." — KEVIN DONOVAN, author of The Billionaire Murders

On the morning of March 10, 1988, in Orillia, Ontario, a house fire engulfed fourteen-year old Joey Philion in flames. He suffered third-degree burns on 95 percent of his body. Doctors didn't think he would make it through the night.

After the Flames is the story of one of the world's most famous burn victims: his incredible survival, his nightmarish path to recovery that helped revolutionize medical treatment for burn victims worldwide, the fame thrust upon him after he was declared a hero by the media, and the tumultuous years that followed, most of which were spent under the microscope of an unforgiving public eye.

Intertwined with Joey's story are those of his family, including his mother, Linda; stepfather, Mike; and younger brother, Danny, all of whom endured their own tremendous hardships in the wake of a fire that changed their lives forever
