About this listen

A true story about the protracted civil conflict in Liberia and the associated tribulations that caused Clarence Franklin, a young man in the prime of his life, to strengthen his faith in God. Having just completed high school and looking forward to what should have been a time filled with many happy firsts, his post-high school years are instead filled with many horrors.

Traveling the treacherous terrain in active combat zones, Clarence was ultimately allowed to flee Liberia to neighboring Ghana as a refugee. Now in a strange land, Clarence found new challenges but had no option but to persevere for the sake of the fiancée, children, siblings, and parents he left behind.

In a strange country with local languages that he did not understand, something had to be done for his survival. If he could succeed, it would allow the rest of the family members to survive in what was considered to be a land of uncertainties, rich with traditions and culture. This motherland was the birthplace of one of the founding fathers of the Pan-African Liberation Movement, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah.

Clarence had seen tragedies and experienced physical abuse and brutality but was nonetheless fortunate enough to escape from of a war zone that was devastated by angry men who were searching to find identity in a nation filled with generational anger, hatred, and greed. Stories of ancestral war and tribal conflict left unresolved by their forefathers and elders returned to haunt their children, creating what would become the deadliest human catastrophe in the West African region.
