The Edge of Monrovia

By Anita Mamy

The Edge of Monrovia is a gripping true story of courage, resilience, and survival during one of West Africa's most brutal conflicts-the Liberian Civil War. Through the eyes of a young girl, this story traces a harrowing journey from chaos to safety, beginning at the outskirts of Monrovia, where violence and uncertainty loom. As families are torn apart and the line between life and death blurs, each step became proof to human endurance.

Raw, powerful, and deeply personal, The Edge of Monrovia offers a rare glimpse into the untold realities of war and the strength it takes to escape its grasp.

Born and raised in West Africa, Anita Mamy survived the harrowing early years of the Liberian Civil War before eventually resettling in the United States. Drawing on lived experience, she writes with powerful insight into themes of displacement, resilience, and hope.

The Edge of Monrovia is her debut memoir-a tribute to the strength of family and the enduring human spirit in the face of unimaginable adversity. Anita lives in Phoenix, Arizona.
