The Dragons, The Giant, The Women by Wayétu Moore

When Wayétu Moore is five years old, her life is upended by the outbreak of the First Liberian Civil War. Her family is forced to flee their home in Monrovia, embarking on a harrowing journey through the war-torn countryside to safety in Guinea. In The Dragons, The Giant, The Women, Moore weaves together her childhood memories of the war with the story of her family's survival. She writes about the kindness of strangers who helped them along the way, the terrifying moments of danger, and the resilience of her mother, who refused to give up on her family.
