Beschreibung
As a child, Eddie Tokpa lived with his family in a village of mud huts on the Firestone Rubber Plantation where parents and children worked long hours tapping rubber trees for the tire manufacturer, barely making enough to survive.
On Christmas Eve 1989, Liberia was invaded by insurgents, resulting in fourteen years of anarchy and mayhem. Separated from his family, Eddie lived in terror during the war and spent the next eight years in a refugee camp in Ghana, praying to God to help him survive.
Eddie eventually found the words and the resiliency to break his silence. In doing so, he not only provides a glimpse into the experiences of a country still trying to rise from the ashes of its past, but he also tells a riveting story of God's faithfulness despite unfathomable obstacles.
