About the 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



About the Author :

Jonathan R. Rose is an avid traveller, who has spent more than half of his adult life abroad. He is the author of the books Carrion, The Spirit of Laughter, and Wedlock. He lives in Mississauga, Ontario.



Review :
A fast-paced, compelling narrative that goes far beyond the headlines of a story that made news across Canada and around the world. This story is told from the heart by a family member with keen insight into Joey Philion’s battles. A gripping tale of triumph and tragedy, After the Flames will make you shudder, cry, laugh and marvel at the human will to survive. Probing behind the headlines, Rose delivers a touching story of a boy who never wanted to be a hero but had to live under the glare of the media spotlight. Poignant and powerful. A deeply researched book that is brutally honest and so tragic that at times it hurts to read. Beautifully written.
