I went into this book blind, (as I normally do); had absolutely no idea what it was about. When I realised it was about the abduction of children to become soldiers in Uganda/South Sudan, I thought 'ugh...oh no, I am not too sure I have it in me to listen to something heavy right now.'
It didn't take long before I was totally hooked and binge listening.
This is a beautifully written book. Telling the story of Anthony and Florence. Both upducted in their early teens to become soldiers for a guy called Joseph Kony, leader of the Lord's Resistance Army~LRA.
Although it says it is a novel, it is based on truth.
Key lessons:
- Regardless of what you go through, be a good human.
- Love is the most important thing to conquer everything.
- To get rid of the voice of lack, think of everything to be grateful for.
- Fear prevents from living the life you are meant to.
- Love, gratitude, forgiveness
I am so grateful that this book has crossed my path.
5/5
