I held the gun with a trembling hand as thoughts raced through my mind; why should I kill someone who has done me no wrong? This is an injustice… God has forbidden injustice. Then I closed my eyes and decided: I will not kill anyone, no matter what happens. I let the gun fall from my hand and ran away, my foot hit a protruding stone, and I fell to the ground.

A novel about child recruitment, and about a war whose fires will recede from the face of the earth, allowing anemones to bloom, carrying with them the meanings of beauty, joy, and hope.
