A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier
by Ishmael Beah
This was an extremely eye opening memoir. It says a lot about the fragility and resiliency of youth. It was quite difficult to read in parts, surely. What kept me going was knowing that Ismael lived to tell the story. After reading this, it is so much easier to understand how these young children are made into soldiers. I hugged my own kids extra tight and said a prayer for all the youth in the world who were not able to be hugged by their own families.
