A Gift from Darkness by Andrea Claudia Hoffmann PDF Summary

Book Description: An NPR Best Book of the Year: “A powerful testimony to resilience and survival” (Kirkus Reviews). A widowed Nigerian women shares her shocking, inspirational account of what she endured to save her unborn child while kidnapped by Boko Haram. When she was 19, Patience Ibrahim's first husband was murdered by Boko Haram, the Islamic fundamentalist terrorist organization based in West Africa. She fled to the safety of her village and remarried several months later. Having prayed for a child for years, Patience is overjoyed when she discovers she is pregnant. But her joy is short-lived: Boko Haram soldiers are at her door. Brutally abducted and forced to convert to Islam, she lives in constant terror of what her kidnappers have in store for her. She finds herself alone in the world and fears her life is over. For 2 months, Patience hides her pregnancy while facing the brutalities meted out by Boko Haram. By the sheer force of her determination to protect her baby, she and her child escape. Now, she has entrusted journalist Andrea C. Hoffmann with her story, a powerful first-person account of Boko Haram's atrocities in Nigeria and Cameroon. A gripping testimony of the terrorist group’s war crimes in Western Africa, A Gift from Darkness poignantly shows the human toll of a crisis that demands attention.
