...normal life that was interrupted by rebel soldiers who forced him to wander from town to town with his friends in search of safety. After his parents were killed by the rebels, Beah was forced into the army at gunpoint, constantly reminded about his parents’ murder and fed drugs that numbed the physical pain of his wounds and made it possible for him to continue fighting and killing.
