I met Darby in the early 90's and encouraged her to become a storyteller. We actually toured together, often driving. Darby always talked about this book and I waited patiently for her to finish it. It was well worth the wait. Through the Fire is such a wonderful story. It uplifts any woman that has been abused and shows her how to triumph and rise above her past. I truly enjoyed this book and have read it three times! I highly recommend this book. It is a very compelling novel.
Sure to be a Bestseller!

From the moment I opened the book and read the first paragraph I knew that this book was going to be the best thing I have ever read! Darby's ability to write in such a descriptive way so that you can picture the way that Toni looked as a child, the way her father looked as a young man in Harlem...The pain she felt at the hands of her mother and her male friends...I ran a mix of emotions from crying to laughter to total elation when she at last found true love. I didn't put it down until I was finished reading it. This is truly the best book out there right now. Absolutely!
