Shattered

Walters, Eric, 1957- (Author).

Fifteen-year-old Ian must complete community volunteer service at a soup kitchen for the homeless. He is rescued from a near-mugging by a homeless man named Sarge, who was a soldier in the Canadian Armed Forces and served as a peacekeeper in Rwanda. Sarge tells him about the Rwandan genocide and Ian tries to help this shattered man who must live with his nightmarish memories.
