| Summary |
In 1990, when bullets hit Agnes Fallah Kamara-Umunna's home in Monrovia, Liberia, she and her father hastily fled, along with thousands of others. After years of exile, Agnes returned to Liberia--now devastated by years of civil war. Agnes accepted a job at the local UN-run radio station. Their mission is peace and their method is reconciliation through understanding. Soon, she came up with a daring plan: find the former child soldiers and record their stories. Agnes comforted rape survivors, elicited testimonials from warlords, and was targeted with death threats--all live on the air. This is Agnes's testimony to a nation's descent into the horrors of civil War, and its subsequent rise out of the ashes. |
