About the Book
No Bad Bush tells the story of Dema and Musa, a woman and man divided by an unspeakable act committed during Sierra Leone’s civil war. Tonight, after years of silence, they will face an impossible decision as their tightly held secrets are finally laid bare before their community.
No Bad Bush explores the dueling powers of shame and forgiveness in a haunting, lyrical tale from the author of Because We Are: A Novel of Haiti.
While a law student, Ted Oswald lived in Port-au-Prince and worked in Cité Soleil, where he became deeply invested in the community and met the feisty young girl who served as the inspiration for his character Libète. He currently works as a public interest lawyer in Philadelphia, where he lives with his wife, Katharine. Because We Are: A Novel of Haiti is his first novel.
