A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier by Ishmael Beah

4.0

Absolutely heart-breaking what those kids went through (are still going through?). But the hopeful tone and the amazing recovery by Ishmael and others like him show just how resilient kids are and how much heart goes into loving these kids and bringing them back to their humanity. A very good read.
