Is a must read! Talk about the resiliency of the human spirit. This book is about 3 Dinka boys from Sudan, who at the age of 7 lost their home (and their way of life) to the ravages of war. These 3 boys tell their heartbreaking story of traveling over a 1000 miles, and doing so throughout the most unbearable hunger, thirst, and disease.
What amazes me the most about these boys is that no matter what they faced, no matter how insurmountable the obstacle seemed...they were always grateful. They always remained kind. They kept their humanity.
It is amazing that Benson, Benjamin, and Alephon lived through their experiences in Sudan. I am just grateful that they did. It is because of them that I now know the stories of all the others that they mentioned in the book. The lost boys that never made it.
