The Dragons, the Giant, the Women

by Wayu00e9tu Moore

In 'The Dragons, the Giant, the Women,' Wayu00e9tu Moore recounts the gripping tale of her childhood caught in the throes of the First Liberian Civil War. As a young girl eagerly awaiting a reunion with her mother in New York, Wayu00e9tu's world is shattered when violence engulfs Liberia, forcing her family to undertake a perilous escape. With the acumen of a novelist, Moore captures the harrowing ordeal and the subsequent struggle to adapt to life in Texas as an immigrant and black woman. This memoir navigates through her eventual return to Liberia, illuminating the enduring quest for home amid chaos. Crafted with imaginative storytelling and enriched prose, Moore's journey is a testament to the enduring strength of familial bonds and the profound impact of migration in today's global landscape.
