Join us: Oprah's Book Club on CNN.com

Here’s some exciting news: CNN and Oprah's Book Club are teaming up to bring you a novel that will touch your heart - "Say You're One of Them," stories told through the eyes of children who face the unimaginable.

A boy who tries to stop his sister from selling her body to pay for his schooling.
A young girl whose father is forced by an angry mob to kill her mother.

Written by Uwem Akpan, a Nigerian-born Catholic priest, this book of fiction draws its title from the story of a Rwandan mother trying to save her daughter from the genocide that is roaring toward her home. As her husband's rival tribesmen hunt her down, she tells her daughter to "say you're one of them."

RSVP for the event at oprah.com and join us for the discussion on Nov. 9 at 9 p.m. on CNN.com/LIVE. You'll see and hear Oprah's interview with the author and be able to share your own thoughts with each other.
