A Sierra Leone boy swept away from his family by rebels and forced to fight in a devastating civil war attempts to reestablish some sense of normalcy after fighting ceases and he is forced to speak before a Truth and Reconciliation Committee. Young Ezra was only seven years old when rebels abducted him and spirited him away into the jungle for military training. Seven long years have passed since that fateful day, and as Ezra struggles to recall the details of a deadly village raid which has become the subject of a Truth and Reconciliation Committee investigation, the boy's mute sister reveals a long gestating secret that puts his entire life in a whole new light. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
