To help readers understand the impact of Sudan's civil war on a human level, this riveting story provides a vivid account of childhood in Africa and a captivating tale of human survival.
Between 1987 and 1989, three young boys were among the tens of thousands who fled from the massacres of Sudan’s civil war with little more than the clothes on their backs. Walking nearly 1000 miles, their harrowing journey first led them to Ethiopia, and then back into Sudan toward Kenya. This is the story of how they courageously survived hunger, strength-sapping illnesses, and life-threatening predators before eventually being relocated to the United States as part of a refugee relief program.
