The Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) is a brutal rebel group that has terrorized northern Uganda for decades. The LRA has abducted thousands of children and forced them to fight in their war against the government. The women in this book share their stories of survival, resilience, and hope.

The women in this book were abducted as children and forced to become soldiers. They were subjected to horrific abuse, including rape, torture, and murder. They were forced to kill their own family members and friends. They were denied food, water, and medical care. They were forced to march for days on end, carrying heavy loads. They were constantly in fear for their lives.
