Haunting, beautiful, heart breaking and very moving! Amazing story of the resilent children that endure horrendous, unthinkable acts of violence and misery.

I read this book within a few hours. It was very good!!!

Stuart Daniels is a photographer for The Times and feels lousy about his award for a photo in which he felt terrible about, because he was helpless to be able to help anyone within the situation. He is sent out to Swaziland for his next story.

Adanna is a 12 year old girl who grew up in the beautiful Swaziland that has now turned bitter, filled with death and disease due to the AIDS crisis. She has a mother and two siblings.

Both of the main characters are struggling to find God. Why would He allow all this suffering to occur? Where is He? This story does such a great job of putting you in the lives of the people in Swaziland and shows you how God can change people and bring various forms of healing to people. It was a very sad story, but so good.
