In the YouTube video on this page, Dr. Kjell Anderson asks Acan and Amony why they wrote their memoirs.
Evelyn Amony replied that, among the many reasons she wrote her memoir,
I wanted the world to know that it's very good to talk about what happens to you, what happened to you, after saying it you can feel better than before, you can feel relieved. Before I wrote my book, I was afraid that whenever I was walking I would feel like people are saying, 'oh, she is useless, [...] she has nothing.' But after writing I felt the courage that I can do it, I still have the courage, but yes I have not gone to school I can still change my life, I can still move on.
In her response to Anderson's question, Grace Acan states,
I wrote this book to correct the misconceptions that my community was having and to correct some of the things that they were saying that to me wasn't right and to also give them the right information so that they know exactly what took place. I would also like to let the world know that war has very negative effects on girls and women, so it should be stopped.
