Memoir about a families struggles to stay safe during Liberian unrest.
Currently reading. A memoir of Moore‘s escape from Liberia as a child and her attempts to deal with this past as an adult.
“There are many stories of war to tell. You will hear them all. But remember among those who were lost, some made it through. Among the dragons there will always be heroes. Even there. Even then. And of those tales ending in defeat, tales of death and orphans wandering among the ruined, some ended the other way too.â€
The Dragon The Giant The Women encapsulates some of life‘s most solemn issues: war, racism, migration, love, psychological issues, the power of hope & prayer,. Wayétu educated us, giving us bits of Liberia‘s rich culture – tribes, language, folk tales, & tribal remedies. Although the story was filled with how hateful we as humans can be against each other, there was a more powerful narrative love, strength, support, community, hope, and prayer.
So excited to get my hands on both of these. #ReadPOC
