Mark Sullivan All the Glimmering Stars Paperback Book

Inspired by a true story, two teens kidnapped by an African warlord find salvation through love in a powerful and healing historical novel from the #1 bestselling author of Beneath a Scarlet Sky and The Last Green Valley. Anthony Opoka and Florence Okori are coming of age in Uganda in the 1990s. Outstanding students, they believe in being good humans before they are kidnapped and forced into the fanatical Lords Resistance Army. In a legion of young recruits, no one gets closer than Anthony to powerful messianic warlord Joseph Kony and his darkest secrets. To stay sane as he spirals through chaos, Anthony clings to his childhood lessons about being a good human. Florences upbringing grounds her, too, helping her keep her dreams alive even as shes pulled deeper into the insanity of Konys war. At the lowest points of their lives, certain theyll never go home, Anthony and Florence meet by chance, fall in love, and begin to dream of surviving their captivity. They devote their lives to helping their fellow child soldiers escape bondage and return to their families and redemption by following the stars. By turns tender, shocking, moving, desperate, and ultimately triumphant, Florence and Anthonys story is an epic drama of humanity, a lifeaffirming tale, and an experience readers will never forget. Featuring an afterword by Anthony and Florence Opoka. | Mark Sullivan All the Glimmering Stars Paperback Book
