Muito Longe De Casa by Ishmael Beah
Memoirs of a Boy Soldier
A haunting memoir that follows a Sierra Leonean boy whose peaceful childhood is shattered by civil war, forcing him into a life as a child soldier where he endures and commits brutal violence, is numbed by drugs, and struggles with guilt and identity; eventually rescued and rehabilitated by aid workers, he grapples with trauma, loss, and the difficult path toward recovery and reintegration while reflecting on the human costs of conflict and the possibility of redemption.
