Bombs and Beloved Things — Kimberly Coleman

Dikallah and Draka Provinces are locked in an endless war. For twenty years, booksellers, students, debt collectors, shepherds, and soldiers, have employed desperate measures in order to survive. Now, the once-untouchable politicians have become targets of terrorists whose cruelty is matched only by the country's President.

The Blind Girl's War is a series of novels and standalone short stories on the realities of citizens living in a rapidly changing world where slavery, thievery, cannibalism, witchcraft, - and politicians - are material threats to those they love and the life they chose. The dystopian series has been acclaimed by readers for its detail and realistic portrayal of interlinked families trapped between elite politicians and violent extremists.
