A Long Way Gone
Ishmael Beah

Much has been said about this book but nothing will prepare you for its impact. An incredible story about surviving the civil war in Sierra Leone told by a boy who survived the war as a boy soldier.

Not much I write here would do it justice other than to point out that if you think you're facing challenges they will pale in contrast. Perhaps what you take from this story is a glimmer of hope, of inspiration and the realization that, I hope, in the end good does prevail.
