"The Story of Peace" is a well written and inspirational story. The author, Miriam Ezeh, quickly draws the reader into the lives of a girl named Peace and her younger brother, Lawrence. The brother and sister are left to care for themselves when the horrors of war leave them orphans. Peace uses her deep faith in Christ to face the life and death challenges of an imperfect world.

"The Story of Peace" is a tribute to all people who embrace the will of God with open hearts and who hold fast to the belief in the Mercy of Jesus Christ.

This review is from: The Story of Peace (Paperback)

This was a very engaging book from the begining. As I read each page I could not wait to read the next. I was often engrossed and seemed to be preasent in the moment..intriguing. The lessons in the book were phenomenal and I think everyone old enough to read, should read this. It definitely brings to life our moral values and how we can live them in this day and age without seeming an outsider to society. It is a must read and I can not wait to read this author's next book. Every high school should carry this book in their library.

3.0 out of 5 stars An Inspirational Love Story, February 17, 2009

This review is from: The Story of Peace (Paperback)

In her debut novel, Miriam Ezeh introduces readers to Peace Udomon. Peace is a single, hardworking young woman who is trying to come to terms with the death of her parents. As a promise to her parents, Peace struggles to raise her teenage brother and to keep him from getting involved in the controversy between two villages in Africa. When seeking assistance from her godparents did not help, she turned to an outsider, John Williams. John was a doctor from the US who had recently returned to the homeland of his deceased mother. His assistance and faith eventually became life dependant for Peace.

Ezeh has given readers a wonderful story of love, faith and strength. The focal point of the story was on Peace's unconditional love for God and her family. She depended on her growing faith in John to help her get through the tragic war. However, the story fell short because it left out important details regarding the location of the villages, the war and its origin. Despite what it lacked, I found the story enjoyable.
