Book Recommendation

I read a book awhile back ago...maybe 4 or 5 months ago, called Girl Soldier. It was an amazing story of the survival of a child who was abducted in Uganda and forced to fight in the rebel army.

A few weeks ago, I came across an interview by CNN...it is an interview with this same girl who's biography I read. So here it is...the side of war that most Americans don't see...the unfortunate veterans who should have never been recruited in the first place.

Good post Lena. Did you know she also has a bracelet video with Invisible Children? It's pretty good too! Miss you!
