I just can put it down i love it so much i stayed up most of the night last night reading it this young ladies story is incredible.
What the book is about:
As a child in a small rural village in Sierra Leone, Mariatu lived peacefully surrounded by her family and friends. Rumours of the rebel attacks we no more than a distant worry. But the twelve year old set out for a neighbouring village, she never arrived. Heavily armed rebel soldiers, many no older than children themselves, attacked and tortured Mariatu. During this brutal act of senseless violence the cut off both her hands.
Here is a link to the book if anyone is interested in buying it or reading it the site is called Green Metropolis you sell and buy books and you can also choose to donate money to different charities bite of the mango
The book has many different front covers but the all tell the same story.
There a few lines in this book that cought in my chest
"Don't look back Mariatu. If you look back you will live your life with regrets and what-could-have-been's. Always look forward.
