About This Book
Description
An eighteen-year-old girl sets out to meet a young man whom she had never met before and is swept away by a series of events that transformed her life in a way she could have never imagined.
Tower in the Sky is the story of love, revolution, hopes, dreams, violence, terror, trust, betrayal, tragedy, disillusionment, self-transformation, and the triumphal power of the human spirit. The book vividly depicts a pivotal moment in Ethiopia's history when the country convulsed with violence unleashed by a bloodthirsty military government that massacred an untold number of people, especially the youth, and plunged the country into darkness.
It is also the inspiring story of thousands of young people who stood up against one of the most brutal dictatorships in history and fought courageously for equality, freedom, social justice, and human dignity.
