In order to reveal how children themselves perceive being caught in the crossfire of war, Curtin (author, editor, and registered nurse) uses their own powerful words and visual expressions to tell the world what it is like to be trapped in the incomprehensible world of adult hatred and conflict. By capturing the experiences of the children of the Balkans as they have recounted their tales of horror, she shows how their poignant stories are as much about hope as they are about despair.
