About this listen
As a survivor of the devastating civil wars in Sierra Leone and Liberia, Joseph Kaifala recounts the harrowing details af an early life punctuated by unimaginable violence and his journey to survival that eventually led him to the United States. Told with humility and grace, Adamalui is the true story of one man's unshakable faith, thirst for knowledge, and indomitable will.
Kaifala's experiences as a child prisoner and refugee are told through a series of flashbacks as he endeavors to attain a visa to attend college in America. His memories of the death and destruction that he and his family witnessed while attempting to avoid the violence rampant in impoverished West Africa are written with amazing clarity by a man on a mission to chart a way forward for himself and the others who would follow in his steps.
Kaifala's hopes for a brighter future for his home country - a country to which he still returns to assist through charitable causes - are crystalized throughout this prescient, timely, and beautifully-written memoir.
©2018 Joseph Kaifala (P)2018 Blackstone Audio, Inc.Joseph kaifala' remarkable story as a young man, left me in tears as I listened to the beautiful picture of his life.
I am impressed by this book and I think it fulfils the old adage Books can take you to different places. I was submerged into Joseph life and I felt the anguished and pain as he went through them.
It also helps that I was in Sierra Leone as a young lad and left before the civil war, regardless I could relate.
A must read for those who are Sierra leonean, Africans or those going through difficult times.
Life itself is a story.
