Summary:
"At thirty-seven, Irene Gleeson was a broken woman. Her marriage had crumbled, her children were out of control and she had spiraled into a deep depression. Her life changed when she walked into a small beachside church and encountered God. Ten years later, she was on a plane bound for northern Uganda to rescue war-affected children. Armed with nothing but faith, courage and dogged determination, Irene sold her beach home, said goodbye to her family, and hauled her tiny caravan 13,000 kilometers to Kitgum--an isolated community besieged by Joseph Kony and his brutal rebel group, the LRA. Under the shade of a mango tree, "Mama Irene" gathered the children of war and taught them to sing and read and write by scratching letters in the dust. And then, for the next twenty-two years, together with the locals, forged a ministry that would transform the lives of thousands of former child soldiers... Heart of a Lioness bursts with drama and glows with miracles--a tale that brings Africa's culture and characters to life, capturing the horrors of war, the heartache of poverty, and the healing power of God's love through one woman"--Back cover.
