Review by Denver Patron |
| This was an amazing story - so poignantly written I felt I was a part of this Sudanese Refugee's experience. It is an easy read but definitely unforgettable. |

| Summary: |
This is the story of Valentino Achak Deng, a refugee of the Sudanese civil war. Fleeing from his village in the mid-1980s, Deng becomes one of the so-called Lost Boys--children pursued by militaries, government soldiers, lions and hyenas and myriad diseases, in then search for sanctuary, first in Ethiopia and then Kenya. Eventually Deng is resettled in the United States with almost 4,000 other young Sudanese men, and a very different struggle begins. |
