Out of the Fire

Out of the Fire is the story of Ada, a young girl who survived and escaped the Nigerian Civil War in Biafra. She arrived in the UK with her English stepfather, Clint Topper, her mother, Charity Topper, and her two younger brothers, Billy and Ben. The story recounts the family’s journey from Uli Airport in war-torn Biafra to their final arrival at Heathrow Airport in London. Ada’s story is one of adjustment and survival in a new world – a world where peace reigns, food is plentiful, and children can be educated and play in a safe environment.
