Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (pages 315-326). Summary:  "Pain and hopelessness are the common ground shared between two vastly different cultures--a middle-class white woman in rural America and war-ravaged children in Africa--as author Bethany Haley tells how she built Exile International, a non-profit that nurtures child soldiers rescued from the LRA (Lord's Resistance Army),a rebel group and violent cult which has operated in northern Uganda, South Sudan, the Central African Republic and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It appears to largely function as a personality cult of its leader, the self-declared prophet Joseph Kony. The terrorist group has committed widespread human rights violations, including murder, abduction, mutilation, child-sex slavery, and forcing children to become child soldiers. Meet Denis. Denis was abducted at the age of ten after being forced to watch members of the LRA murder his father and grandparents. 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." Denis is one of thousands of boys and girls who have had their innocence stolen and are forced to do the unthinkable on a daily basis. Once the children escape or are rescued, they have to find a way to live again. This is where Bethany's foundation comes in, using art and expression therapy to help with the healing process. Once these children learn to face their pasts, they are given hope for a future and a vision for making a difference"--From publisher.
