Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1.1 MB
Overview: A braided narrative winding between the streets of Nairobi, sun-spattered Chicago, and the bloody fields of medieval France, On Bread Alone follows three fiercely strong girls whose passion and determination may be the death of them, all the while raising the question: what does it really mean to hunger?
When her mother dies, six-year-old Wanjeri is sent to live with her uncle in of Nairobi where she must fend for herself if she wants to survive.
Ivy-league bound Shauna is determined to make the most of her last summer before college. She’s going to become the very best Shauna that she can be, and she’s not going to let a little thing like an eating disorder get in her way.
Jehanne is only twelve years old when she begins to have visions of saints and angels and her looming destiny to ride into battle and save France. It seems like a luminous fate, but when she is taken captive by the English and stands trial for heresy, she begins to question what is real and what is a lie.
A mysterious narrator watches as these three very different young women struggle against their own private demons of hunger, loneliness, ambition, and despair. But the brutal worlds they live in begin to wear them thin, and the unthinkable happens: their appetites shift. After all, when bread is hard to come by, hunger is our only salvation.
Hungering, more than anything, for a glimmer of hope and redemption, On Bread Alone draws upon universal experiences that span continents and centuries in a breathtaking mosaic of faith, longing, and desperation.
