Say You're One of Them - (Oprah's Book Club) by Uwem Akpan (Paperback)

This collection of stories by Uwem Akpan is a poignant and powerful portrayal of the resilience of children in the face of unimaginable hardship.

Through the eyes of childhood friends, we witness the emotional toll of religious conflict in Ethiopia, and the unspeakable acts of violence that plague Rwanda.

The stories are set against the backdrop of poverty and violence that is all too familiar in Africa today, but they also offer a glimmer of hope for a brighter future.

With each story, we are reminded of the incredible strength and wisdom of children, even in the face of unimaginable adversity.

This collection is a must-read for anyone who cares about the world's most vulnerable populations, and for anyone who believes that the future belongs to those who will work towards creating a better tomorrow.
