À propos de cet audio
Inspired by a true story, two teens kidnapped by an African warlord find salvation through love in a powerful and healing historical novel from the #1 bestselling author of Beneath a Scarlet Sky and The Last Green Valley.
Anthony Opoka and Florence Okori are coming of age in Uganda in the 1990s. Outstanding students, they believe in being good humans before they are kidnapped and forced into the fanatical Lord’s Resistance Army.
In a legion of young recruits, no one gets closer than Anthony to powerful messianic warlord Joseph Kony and his darkest secrets. To stay sane as he spirals through chaos, Anthony clings to his childhood lessons about being a good human. Florence’s upbringing grounds her, too, helping her keep her dreams alive even as she’s pulled deeper into the insanity of Kony’s war.
At the lowest points of their lives, certain they’ll never go home, Anthony and Florence meet by chance, fall in love, and begin to dream of surviving their captivity. They devote their lives to helping their fellow child soldiers escape bondage and return to their families and redemption by following the stars.
By turns tender, shocking, moving, desperate, and ultimately triumphant, Florence and Anthony’s story is an epic drama of humanity, a life-affirming tale, and an experience readers will never forget.
Featuring an afterword by Anthony and Florence Opoka.

For decades, Nick Burns has been haunted by a decision he made as a young soldier in World War I, when a French artist he’d befriended thrust both her paintings and her baby into his hands—and disappeared. In 1974, with only months left to live, Nick enlists Jenny, a college dropout desperate for adventure, to help him unravel the mystery. The journey leads them from Paris galleries and provincial towns to a surprising place: the Museum of Tears, the life’s work of a lonely Italian craftsman.

Histoire
Al Ward lives on an isolated mining claim in the high desert of central Nevada fifty miles from the nearest town. A grizzled man in his sixties, he survives on canned soup, instant coffee, and memories of his ex-wife, friends and family he’s lost, and his life as a touring musician. Hampered by insomnia, bouts of anxiety, and a chronic lethargy that keeps him from moving back to town, Al finds himself teetering on the edge of madness and running out of reasons to go on—until a horse arrives on his doorstep: nameless, blind, and utterly helpless.

At birth, Violet and Rose Flowers were identical, save for a tiny bluish-purple mark gracing Violet’s slender neck. By nineteen, their temperaments distinguish them, as different as the flowers their mother named them for—Violet, wild and outgoing, and Rose, solitary and reserved. Still, they are each other’s world. Then, on a sweltering, terrible August night in 1928, an explosion rocks Lamb’s Dance Hall in Possum Flats, Missouri, engulfing it in flames, leaving one twin among the dozens dead, and her sister’s life forever changed.

Ce que les critiques en disent
“An inherently fascinating read and one of those novels that will linger in the mind and memory of the reader long after the book is finished and set back upon the shelf. Highly recommended…” —Midwest Book Review
“Historical fiction with a love story at its core—but also a harrowing survival story that reads like a thriller. Kudos to Mark on his new masterpiece!” —James Patterson, New York Times bestselling author
“Mark Sullivan’s All the Glimmering Stars is the pinnacle of an already distinguished career. A searing piece of historical fiction steeped in a yearslong deep dive into the horrors of child soldiering, it is at its core something tender and rare: a love story between two profoundly good people striving for light in unimaginable darkness. It is a joy and an inspiration.” —Gregg Hurwitz, New York Times bestselling author of the Orphan X series

Very Moving
Devoured this book in two days! The story was shocking, heartrending, & even unbearable at points. The absolute cruelty & evil of the LRA & Joseph Kony cannot be understated. Yet, in the midst of these horrific & torturous circumstances grew a mustard seed sized hope that persevered to find its way to a beautiful ending. I love Uganda & have seen its many splendors, but there is nothing like it's people & their overcoming, joyous, & loving spirits. This true story/novel is the perfect example of those hearts on display! Thank you to the Opokas for reliving their darkest experiences in order for Mark Sullivan to bring them to the light.

Powerful and Moving
This story needs to be made into a movie to reach a wider audience. The story of Antony and Florence is very powerful, heart wrenching, devestating but ultimately uplifting. There are lessons here for everyone on how to be grateful for the good lives we have, when so many in the world are going through such horror. I would like to thank Anthony and Florence for sharing their story with the world, tand to the author for giving that story a life through this book.
