Inspired by a true story, two teens kidnapped by an African warlord find salvation through love in a powerful and healing historical novel from the #1 bestselling author of Beneath a Scarlet Sky and The Last Green Valley.

Anthony Opoka and Florence Okori are coming of age in Uganda in the 1990s. Outstanding students, they believe in being good humans before they are kidnapped and forced into the fanatical Lord’s Resistance Army.

In a legion of young recruits, no one gets closer than Anthony to powerful messianic warlord Joseph Kony and his darkest secrets. To stay sane as he spirals through chaos, Anthony clings to his childhood lessons about being a good human. Florence’s upbringing grounds her, too, helping her keep her dreams alive even as she’s pulled deeper into the insanity of Kony’s war.

At the lowest points of their lives, certain they’ll never go home, Anthony and Florence meet by chance, fall in love, and begin to dream of surviving their captivity. They devote their lives to helping their fellow child soldiers escape bondage and return to their families and redemption by following the stars.

By turns tender, shocking, moving, desperate, and ultimately triumphant, Florence and Anthony’s story is an epic drama of humanity, a life-affirming tale, and an experience readers will never forget.

Featuring an afterword by Anthony and Florence Opoka.

Editorial Review

Endurance of the human spirit
Mark Sullivan has a knack for discovering the kind of stories that need to be brought into the light. He’s inspired by real-life people who have survived and thrived after enduring the worst of humanity—people who go on to serve as examples of the best of humanity. Anthony Opoka and Florence Okori are two profoundly good people striving for light in unimaginable darkness. While just teenagers, they are abducted and forced to become child soldiers for Joseph Kony’s cult-like regime in 1990s Uganda. With vivid detail, Sullivan tells the story of their capture, life under Kony, and their miraculous escape. Junior Nyong'o, an actor, musician, and DJ from Kenya, is a “new-to-me” narrator, and is perfectly cast to give voice to Anthony and Florence. All the Glimmering Stars is a love story at its core—and a call to action for us all to demand the end of using children in armed conflict anywhere in the world. — Tricia F., Audible Editor

Wow, what can I say? Mark Sullivan is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. His books take humanity and show its different persona. This book showed good and evil and how one always tries to overpower the other. The book is based on a true story with the two primary characters being contributors. It was about Uganda in the 1990's when the Lord's Resistance Army was wreaking havoc throughout the country. Not wanting to give any spoilers, I can say the book will leave you thinking about it long after it's read. I'm so thankful that I have not ever had to face the circumstances these two strong, resilient people had to face and the fact that they overcame all odds against them. Such a good book!

Learned about African child soldiers. I did not know much so that was good. Parts of the book are gruesome. Highly recommend.
