School of Restoration
In book shops 17 March, 2020
This is Alice Achan’s story –from a child caught up in Uganda’s 20 year brutal civil war, fighting to continue and finally finish her education, to gathering the girl victims of these atrocities and organizing a school where they, too, can find their own voice and their own futures.
School of Restoration explores how Alice emerges from her own excruciatingly painful past to become, through love and tenacity, a force of change for thousands of broken Acholi children.
School of Restoration is in part about the chaos and devastation of war. Yet it is also about hope, forgiveness, redemption, and the human capacity to survive and even thrive in adversity.
It is a current, topical insight into the impact of war on girls, sexual violence as a weapon of war, and the wider issue of educating girls as a means of shifting society in Africa.
Available at all good book stores.
