Acerca de esta escucha

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 Lord’s 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. Florence’s upbringing grounds her, too, helping her keep her dreams alive even as she’s pulled deeper into the insanity of Kony’s war.

At the lowest points of their lives, certain they’ll 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 Anthony’s story is an epic drama of humanity, a life-affirming tale, and an experience readers will never forget.

Featuring an afterword by Anthony and Florence Opoka.

Editorial Review

Endurance of the human spirit
Mark Sullivan has a knack for discovering the kind of stories that need to be brought into the light. He’s inspired by real-life people who have survived and thrived after enduring the worst of humanity—people who go on to serve as examples of the best of humanity. Anthony Opoka and Florence Okori are two profoundly good people striving for light in unimaginable darkness. While just teenagers, they are abducted and forced to become child soldiers for Joseph Kony’s cult-like regime in 1990s Uganda. With vivid detail, Sullivan tells the story of their capture, life under Kony, and their miraculous escape. Junior Nyong'o, an actor, musician, and DJ from Kenya, is a “new-to-me” narrator, and is perfectly cast to give voice to Anthony and Florence. All the Glimmering Stars is a love story at its core—and a call to action for us all to demand the end of using children in armed conflict anywhere in the world. — Tricia F., Audible Editor

Riveting!

Just as tantalizing and amazing as “The last green valley” and “beneath a scarlet sky” this book glued me to my device for days. I could not stop telling my husband about every detail as I listened. The narrator has an amazing range of accents and pronunciation, spot on! The story gets better on every page. I’m not much of a student of recent events, as I prefer more distant events for study but Sullivan’s ability to tell the story makes any story memorable. Absolutely brilliant!

Courage overcomes atrocities

I did not like hearing about the terrible things that happened to the children in Uganda. But Mark Sullivan’s Beautiful storytelling made it possible to hear the truth that must be told and to be filled with hope that Antony and Florence’s story will continue to bring healing.

An amazing audiobook!

I wasn’t aware of children soldiers too much before this novel but I did know it happened I just didn’t know to what extent. I felt so many things listening to Anthony’s story I was moved with many emotions while listening, I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys history and war stories. I will be reading more by this very talented author! Five incredible stars!

The worst & best of humanity

This is probably one of the most heart wrenching, incredible stories of survival I’ve ever read. The strength and power of love. The power of trying to be a good human in the most horrific circumstances. Overcoming war, hate, brutality with brains, bravery and love. It was horrible but I couldn’t put it down because it was so well told. This will stay in my heart and mind for a very long time.

So moving

Incredible flow and gripping depth! Just wow!

The protagonist lived by the question “what would a good human do?” Good is relative for many people, including Joseph Coney who saw his actions as good in his warped mind. “What would Jesus do” uses the life of the only perfect man (fully man and fully God) to guide us to what is truly right.
