This is an exceptional story; one that, unfortunately, could be told by others. I have heard of the Lost Boys of Sudan and researched a bit into that topic. I came upon this book as well and feel it is a very good autobiography to read. The topic is, of course, harsh so it was hard to read about such autrocities. However, the positive outlook the author presents strengthens any reader in any situation. This story is one of hope, and that, I believe, is needed for any living being.
