Girl Soldier

Christian Living

“Girl Soldier is a moving account of a people’s suffering and a girl’s extraordinary faith. In a unique format, the book moves back and forth between the narrative arc of Grace Akallo’s life and the historical roots of the northern Uganda tragedy. But this is not just a story of victimization; rather, it illuminates the resiliency of the human spirit. Providentially, the namesakes of the two authors, Faith McDonnell and Grace Akallo, underscore the theme of this book—that in spite of unimaginable terror, faith and grace abound.”
