Book Synopsis
Once considered the most stable country in West Africa, Ivory Coast was split by an armed rebellion in 2002 and endured a decade of instability and a violent conflict. Carol Spindel provides an intimate glimpse into this turbulent period by weaving together the daily lives and paths of five of her neighbours.

Trade Review
Written in an accessible and engaging narrative nonfiction style, this book shares the story of five young people who come of age during the tumultuous democratic transition in Ivory Coast. Spindel's honest storytelling, close friendships with everyday Ivoirians, and more than thirty-five years of experience in the country shine in this riveting account." - William Moseley, Macalester College
