Requests:  0 Summary:  "The spectacularly dramatic and redemptive memoir of a woman whose curiosity about the world led her to the world's most imperiled and perilous countries, and then into fifteen months of harrowing captivity--a beautifully written story of courage, resilience, and grace. At the age of eighteen, Amanda Lindhout moved from her hardscrabble hometown to the big city and worked as a cocktail waitress, saving her tips so she could travel the globe. Aspiring to understand the world and live a significant life, she backpacked through Latin America, Laos, Bangladesh, and India, and went on to Sudan, Syria, and Pakistan. In war-ridden Afghanistan and Iraq she carved out a fledgling career as a reporter. And then, in August 2008, she traveled to Somalia--"the most dangerous place on earth"--to report on the fighting there. On her fourth day in the country, she and her photojournalist companion were abducted. A House in the Sky illuminates the psychology, motivations, and desperate extremism of Lindhout's young guards and the men in charge of them. She is kept in chains, nearly starved, and subjected to horrific abuse. She survives by imagining herself in a "house in the sky," finding strength and hope in the power of her own mind. Lindhout's decision to counter the violence she endured by founding an organization to help educate Somali people women is a moving testament to the power of compassion and forgiveness"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 070.92 Lindhout Li Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 070.92 Lindhout Li Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Koloa P/S Library Adult Biography B Lindhout Li Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 070.92 Lindhout Li Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Liliha Public Library Adult Nonfiction 070.92 Lindhout Li Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 070.92 Lindhout Li Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Molokai Public Library Adult Nonfiction 070.92 Lindhout Li Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Biography 070.92 Lindhout Li Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Wahiawa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 070.92 Lindhout Li Checked out 07/14/2024 Add Copy to MyList
