Set in Monrovia during the administration of Liberia's former
president, Charles Taylor, this riveting debut is a story of
recovery, atonement, and the continuing quest for peace and justice
in a nation plagued by conflict and inequalities since its founding
by freed American slaves. Life in post-war Liberia is not easy, and
it is especially challenging for Bendu Lewis, a young woman who
counsels traumatized survivors of Liberia's civil war while
struggling with memories of her own war-time experiences. When the
warlord who once held her in captivity suddenly shows up in town,
she decides that for her own healing, and for the voiceless victims
of the war, she must bring him to justice for his past atrocities.
In her pursuit of Commander Cobra, Bendu finds much more than she
bargained for, including the courage to finally confront and make
amends for her own painful war-time secret.
