The Rain That Fell on Broken Years: War in the Eyes of a Child (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798996429905)

The Rain That Fell on Broken Years: War in the Eyes of a Child is a deeply moving poetic memoir told through the eyes of a child who lived during the Nigerian-Biafran Civil War.

Through poetry, memory, and reflection, Nneoma Ugorji recounts experiences of war, displacement, hunger, fear, survival, and the quiet resilience of ordinary people trying to endure unimaginable hardship.

Yet these pages are not only about suffering. They are also about tenderness, family, community, endurance, and the fragile hope that survives even in the darkest seasons of human life.

Written with lyrical honesty and emotional depth, this collection bears witness to the lasting impact of war on children while honoring the strength of the human spirit and the healing power of memory.
