Mark Sullivan’s latest novel, “All the Glimmering Stars” is based on actual facts. Anthony Opoka and Florence Okori were coming of age in Uganda in the 1990’s when they are kidnapped and forced into the fanatical Lord’s Resistance Army. At the lowest points of their lives, fearing they will never go home, they meet by chance and fall in love. They devote their lives to helping their fellow child soldiers escape bondage and return to their families, finding redemption by following the stars.
