She takes the reader into the inner circles of LRA commanders and reveals unprecedented personal and domestic details about Joseph Kony. Her account unflinchingly conveys the moral difficulties of choosing survival in a situation fraught with violence, threat, and death. \u003cbr\u003e Amony was freed following her capture by the Ugandan military. Despite the trauma she endured with the LRA, Amony joined a Ugandan peace delegation to the LRA, trying to convince Kony to end the war that had lasted more than two decades. She recounts those experiences, as well as the stigma she and her children faced when she returned home as an adult. \u003cbr\u003e This extraordinary testimony shatters stereotypes of war-affected women, revealing the complex ways that Amony navigated life inside the LRA and her current work as a human rights advocate to make a better life for her children and other women affected by war. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Best books for public \u0026amp; secondary school libraries from university presses, American Library Association\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Evelyn Amony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0299304949\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780299304942\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Wisconsin Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/20\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/15\/2015 pg. 103","brand":"Evelyn Amony","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46738974310655,"sku":"9780299304942","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a76d3c04-c4ef-4183-b227-f28d79ea7a2f.jpg?v=1743276830","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/i-am-evelyn-amony-evelyn-amony-9780299304942","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
