Book Description
A little child wakes up starving. Her mother can¿t feed her because she¿s dying from hunger. Her village can¿t protect her because they are engulfed in the midst of a bloody civil war. They have the misfortune to live in a village that is a strategic spot on the map of warlords and government forces; both groups determined to take and or keep that little town at all cost. Their men have fled; left them unprotected. Their sons have been taken or killed. But a small group of women must ensure the lives of their children, their elders and themselves.What they do, how they do it and when they do it, will determine their fates. Who survives, who doesn¿t? Who turns on the other, who doesn¿t? Who holds the group together or who falls apart?Kpana tells her story as a child trying to make sense of it all.
