Kindle Audiobook: All The Glimmering Stars, Mark Sullivan

 


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
