An eight-year-old orphan is living off the streets and through the
kindness of strangers. His home is a shack in the slums of
Kinshasa. Harbouring deep feelings, and wants of a better life. He
plans his escape which he must accomplish against all the odds.
Soon he gets the opportunity, a charming stranger presents an
opportunity to him. He makes his escape but does not get what was
promised. For he has now found his way, not in a family home, but a
coltan mine. The kind stranger was a child trafficker who would
lure his victims with outrageous promises of a better life. Over
the years to come, the orphan despite being so young, would work as
hard as any adult. This served however, to make him stronger. He
would learn about life, and about what is tearing his country
apart. Into the Abyss tells the story of an orphan, born in the
slums of Kinshasa, who escapes only to find himself trapped in a
coltan mine. But where this life would take him, would be
anyone’s guess. Set in The Congo, this is a book about conflict,
poverty, dreams, hope, and generosity.
