A novel based on the true story of Coco Ramazani, a war rape victim
by Joseph E. Mwantuali

Tell This to My Mother: A novel based on the true story of Coco Ramazani, a war rape victim is powerful, raw and true. It is an important story, but is not easy to read.

The story is told by Coco Ramazani, an orphan who was tricked into the Congo rebellion, and was left to die in a military camp filled with thousands of drugged foreign soldiers. She escaped to America, where she is now fighting for her life. It is also the story of child soldiers in the Democratic Republic of Congo, about rape used as a weapon of war, and of the hope embodied by a tough young woman who refuses to go silently into the night.
