Journeying Mercies: Tuesday Was Gone (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

Every story of survival is a story of hope, a belief that that life will become livable, tolerable, happy at some time in the future. This story of a young boy growing up in French West Africa is just that story. Phillip survives wild animals as he roams the Sahal (Arabic for shore) as well as wild adults at the mission-run boarding school he is sent to at the age of six. This is a poignant and beautiful story about life lived in the heart of "the white man's graveyard". Animals ask the tough questions, such as: "Why did none of the survivors think to tell their parents about the abuse (until forty years after the fact)?" The story is real, with a few of the names changed and a few of the events relocated in the time line of the book.
