Book Review by: Tish
This short book (a mere 215 pages) is the true story of twelve-year-old Mariatu Kamara’s escape from armed rebel soldiers in war-torn Sierra Lone, Africa. She was violently tortured and mutilated, but this story has a happy ending. Mariatu is now happy and healthy living in her adopted country of Canada. Read this book to find out how this young woman turned tragedy into triumph.
