About this listen

A middle-class white woman in rural America and war-affected children in Africa find common ground in their journeys from brokenness to redemption.

Author and psychologist Bethany Haley shares how her own emotional healing led her into treacherous war zones, where she provides care to former child soldiers and young girls used as sex slaves.

Faced with her own battle with shame and a rocky journey toward healing, Bethany founded Exile International, a nonprofit that implements art/expressive therapy and long-term, rehabilitative care to restore and empower war-affected children - including those rescued from Joseph Kony's LRA (Lord's Resistance Army).

One of those rescued young men, Solomon, was abducted at the age of 10 after being forced to watch LRA soldiers maim and murder his father and grandfather. His younger siblings were left behind, and his mother was instructed to "raise them well...for one day we'll return to take them too." Solomon is one of hundreds of thousands of boys and girls who have had their innocence stolen and are forced to do the unthinkable on a daily basis. But their horrific experiences are just the beginning. The real story is what happens after.

Once these children learn to face their pasts, they are given hope for a future and a vision for changing the fabric of their countries by becoming leaders for peace and advocates of the power of forgiveness.

Tough stories but great book

Great book! Some of the stories are hard to imagine and listen to but great inspirational book. Having traveled to Africa multiple times myself love to hear other people's work of volunteering.

Good overall

I have tremendous respect for the work she is doing in Africa on behalf of people who cannot speak for themselves. While I am a devout Christian, I did find her a bit over-the-top at times in terms of dialogue to and from God.

Good story, not a fan of the narrator.

This book was very slow to start, but in the end had me in awe of those children overseas whose stories are rarely told. It's a good look at the other side, and how we can reach out.

The narration was poor. The narrator attempted to do voices...which was unnecessary. Her voice was pretty boring. I pushed through because I wanted to know how an American could relate to an African child of war.
