The Taxi Elliott Betito

Inspired by the true story of the author's great-grandfather, The Taxi is a gripping tale about war, loss and the persistence of hope. In the midst of a brutal civil war, Eli is a mere taxi driver, nothing more. And yet, with his country on the brink of independence, he finds himself continually dragged into the complexities of the violent conflict and facing choices he cannot make. All he knows is that when innocents suffer, the notions of good and evil are warped beyond recognition. And at the end of a harrowing day, Eli the taxi driver will have to choose between love and life, between a painful past and an improbable future... But when Sarah, a mistreated street urchin, walks into his life, every certainty he ever had is swept away...
