Fourteen-year-old Jacob and fifteen-year-old Okeda’s lives are forever changed by the Lord’s Resistance Army in Uganda, Africa. Fighting on opposite sides in a war, both boys learn to survive under horrible life-threatening conditions while protecting those captured, abused or even brainwashed by the army. Told through both the child soldier’s and the captives’ experiences, it is easy to see that the lines of right and wrong are often blurred in a war. This is a story of hope in the time of a country’s desperate upheaval.
