A Painful Season and A Stubborn Hope - The Odyssey of an Eritrean Mother by Abeba Tesfagiorgis
Abeba Tesfagiorgis, an Eritrean mother and former political prisoner, tells the startling story of her torture by the Ethiopian government in Eritrea. Her odyssey shows how the Ethiopian emperor and later dictator Mengistu thoroughly alienated the Eritrean people, sowing the seeds for the eventual popular uprising and independence. The book gives insight into the Eritrean diaspora and stands as a remarkable tale of one woman's experience of injustice that will elevate and ennoble readers.
