We provide an exact analytic description of decelerating, stopping and reaccelerating optical solitons in atomic media in the non-adiabatic regime. Dynamical control over slow-light pulses is realized via a nonlinear interplay between the solitons and the controlling field generated by an auxiliary laser. This leads to recovery of optical information. We discuss physically interesting features of our solution, which are in good agreement with recent experiments.
