Monrovia Rain and Other Stories Lost and Found offers moving perspectives on day-to-day life in the throes, and in the aftermath, of the civil war that affected every Liberian in some way.

This short but powerful collection, along with the authors' reflections on their stories, will help you understand the people who lived through the conflict just a little bit more.
