Rise from the Ashes
How to overcome life-changing injuries
Burn injuries permanently alter a patient’s body image and self-image. A major burn is an incurable disease; the scars are forever. Even though many patients asked him to “let me die,” in his book “From Cinders to Butterflies,” Dr. Fratianne describes how burned patients can experience true inner healing and thus become transformed from victims, (Cinders) into survivors, (Butterflies) who are beautiful and free to fly. The inner healing is the result of the dedication and skill of the Burn TEAM, (Together Each Accomplishes More); health care professionals who gave expert, compassionate and empathetic care to patients at their lowest ebb in life. These care givers were able to turn pain and suffering into rebirth, and a new level of self-esteem and dignity, in spite of the dehumanizing scars. The “wrappings” may have been damaged, but the “gift” remains as beautiful as ever.
“From Cinders to Butterflies” has gained a positive reception from Kirkus Reviews. “The author employs a highly effective blend of autobiography and spiritual manifesto in these pages, revealing how transforming the lives of others became possible by using what he calls the ‘supernatural gifts’ of faith, hope, and love.”
“From Cinders to Butterflies” shows that one can soar and fly with happiness after falling down into the depths of despair. Interested readers can purchase copies from selected online bookstores.
