Daunting Years: The Liberian Civil War in the Eyes of a Child

A little child wakes up hungry. Her mother can't feed her because she's dying from hunger. Her village can't protect her because they are engulfed in the midst of a bloody civil war. They have the misfortune living on a strategic spot on the map of warlords and government forces- both groups determined to take and or keep that area at all cost. Their men have fled; left them unprotected. Their sons have been taken, recruited or killed. But a mother must ensure the lives of her children, her siblings, along with the extended relatives. What she does, how she does it and when she does it, will determine their fates. Who survives, who doesn't? Who turns on the other, who doesn't? Who holds the group together, who falls apart? Kpana tells her story as a child trying to make sense of it all.
