On January 19, 2000, a fire raged through Seton Hall University's
freshman dormitory, killing three students and injuring 58 others.
Among the victims were Shawn Simons and Alvaro Llanos, roommates
from poor neighbourhoods who made their families proud by getting
into college. They managed to escape, but both were burned
terribly. AFTER THE FIRE is the story of these young men and their
courageous fight to recover from the worst damage the burn unit at
Saint Barnabas hospital had ever seen. It is the story of the
extraordinary doctors and nurses who work with the burned. It is
the story of mothers and fathers, of faith and family and the
invisible ties that bind us to each other. It is the story of the
search for the arsonists--and the elaborate cover-up that nearly
obscured the truth. And it is the story of the women who came to
love these men, who knew that real beauty is a thing not seen in
mirrors.
