Book Description
“The collaborators should know what’s coming. And the people should know that the collaborators will be punished. The police sure as hell won’t do it.” First they took her father. Then her mother, and fiancé. A punishment is overdue. After six years of brutal Occupation, the enemy has been defeated, and Kaiya is left to pick up the pieces of her broken life. Hearing rumours that those captured may be coming home, Kaiya enlists the help of an allied soldier to learn more. Soon she is swept up in a movement to purify her town of all those who collaborated with the enemy, alienating the few left who still care for her.

In a thought-provoking exploration of trauma’s impact on the individual and society, Kaiya must learn to rebuild her life in a world she no longer deems worthy, while an alternative beckons – new technology that can wipe away all memory the past ever happened...

They Poured Fire on Us From the Sky
Author: Benjamin Ajak
Publisher: PublicAffairs
ISBN: 1610395999
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 353
Book Description
The inspiring story of three young Sudanese boys who were driven from their homes by civil war and began an epic odyssey of survival, facing life-threatening perils, ultimately finding their way to a new life in America. Between 1987 and 1989, Alepho, Benjamin, and Benson, like tens of thousands of young boys, took flight from the massacres of Sudan's civil war. They became known as the Lost Boys. With little more than the clothes on their backs, sometimes not even that, they streamed out over Sudan in search of refuge. Their journey led them first to Ethiopia and then, driven back into Sudan, toward Kenya. They walked nearly one thousand miles, sustained only by the sheer will to live. They Poured Fire on Us from the Sky is the three boys' account of that unimaginable journey. With the candor and the purity of their child's-eye-vision, Alephonsian, Benjamin, and Benson recall by turns: how they endured the hunger and strength-sapping illnesses-dysentery, malaria, and yellow fever; how they dodged the life-threatening predators-lions, snakes, crocodiles and soldiers alike-that dogged their footsteps; and how they grappled with a war that threatened continually to overwhelm them. Their story is a lyrical, captivating, timeless portrait of a childhood hurled into wartime and how they had the good fortune and belief in themselves to survive.
