ASHES OF CHILDHOOD
About this book
You could choose to live with despair. Or you could choose hope...
Growing up in Uganda, a land of fertile soils and warm sunshine should have been a dream for Lela. But wickedness, disease, and poverty tried to destroy, her spirit. Suffering robbed her of a childhood, but it could not take her faith. And sometimes, faith is all you need to stay alive.
ASHES OF CHILDHOOD is a memoir written by LELA BURBRIDGE based on her childhood. A skilfully woven personal narrative offering a powerful insight into the impact of poverty and the aftermath of HIV/AIDS on the young generation of Africa. Through Lela's eyes, we see the horrifying realities of rejection, rape, disease, violence, and jealousy. But amidst the darkness and despair, there is also underlying resilience powered by Lela's inner strength and determination to survive.
This is a story of hope and courage in the face of unimaginable adversity.
