With the Sunset Came Fear - Lanan Stella Angel's ten-year in LRA Captivity

At the height of the brutal LRA insurgency in northern Uganda, nine-year-old Stella Lanam leaves her home in Walukuba, Jinja for what should have been a simple visit to her grandmother in Madi-Opei. Instead, she is abducted by the Lord's Resistance Army, thrust into the horrors of child soldiering, and forced into a violent marriage with a rebel commander. Over ten years in captivity, Stella endures unimaginable trauma-and survives before making a daring escape. But freedom is just the beginning. Returning home, she faces yet another battle-one for survival in a fractured society still healing from the wounds of war. In a world that has moved on without her, where everyone bears scars, Stella must confront the pain of her past and navigate her future.
