Book Description
This beautifully written book of mostly solemn Poetry succintly captures the true ordeal of an African country in the midst of war, violence, demise, corruption, poverty and hope. Smith creates a relation between these varying themes that abounded in his Motherland Sierra Leone between the period 1991 - 2002. He ponders the future of the country he grew up seeing been torn apart by civil war through his sleek and subtle yet easy to understand Poetry. Between the lines though, this young Poet's voice re-echoes a certain optimism that "THE LION MOUNTAIN" (Sierra Leone's moniker) will bounce back refreshed and take its rightful place in the world.

Hate to Love You
Author: Jenn Bennett
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 153447739X
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 832
Book Description
Hate-to-love romance takes center stage in Jenn Bennett’s contemporary novels, Alex Approximately and Starry Eyes, now together in one incredible package that’s perfect for fans of Jenny Han and Morgan Matson. When the guy you’re meant to be with is your worst enemy, things can get a little…complicated. Especially for Bailey in Alex, Approximately after she falls for a sensitive film geek she only knows online as “Alex.” It also just so happens that Bailey is moving to California—to the same coastal town as her online crush—and yet she is too afraid to tell Alex she’s moved to his hometown. Or that she’s landed a job where she’s being tormented daily by her coworker: smart-alecky yet irritatingly hot surfer boy Porter Roth. But what Bailey doesn’t know is that Porter isn’t just any local surfer dude. Porter Roth is Alex…approximately. Trapped in the wilderness with the boy who broke your heart isn’t an ideal situation for anyone. And in Starry Eyes, it was definitely not what Zorie had planned for a camping trip. Abandoned by her friends with only her ex-boyfriend Lennon for company, the two have no choice but to hash out their issues via witty jabs and insults as they try to make their way to safety. But as the duo travels deeper into California’s rugged backcountry, secrets and hidden feelings surface. Turns out the magic of the twinkling stars might be the key to getting Zorie and Lennon back together—or the last straw to tear them apart for good. Jenn Bennett’s popular hate-to-love romances are here to prove that sometimes the one person you can’t stand is actually the person of your dreams—you just might not know it yet.

Green Oranges on Lion Mountain
Author: Emily Joy
Publisher: Eye Books (US&CA)
ISBN: 1908646098
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 383
Book Description
When your Dad can crash his airplane into two water buffalo, life is unlikely to go according to plan. Even so, Emily Joy puts on her rose-tinted glasses, leaves behind her comfortable life as a doctor in Britain, and heads off for two years to a remote hospital in Sierra Leone. There she finds the oranges are green, the bananas are black, and her patients are very ill. There's no water, no electricity, no oxygen, no amputation saw—and Dr. Em is no surgeon. And there's no chocolate to treat her nasty case of unrequited love. Dr. Em's problems are tiny compared to those faced by the people of Sierra Leone on a daily basis. If they can remain so optimistic, what's Em's excuse? Our green doctor is a bit of a yellow-belly, often red-faced, trying to fight the blues. But green oranges give sweet orange juice. Never judge a fruit by its color.
