From the Back Cover of the Book

"Look out!" shouted a student. Soldiers were jumping over the school walls, rounding everyone up, and beating them. Then everyone was taken off to prison. Festo's daughter was one of them.

The new president Idi Amin, was determined to wipe out Christianity in Uganda. Amin's secret police began to arrest and kill Christians. Festo refused to hate and rebel against Amin. He continued to spread God's Word even when it meant he and his family might die.
