Summary:
As gunshots, flames, and screams engulfed their village,
three
cousins fled into the cover of the forest. Every step led the
boys
away from their peaceful, agrarian world--a traditional world were spear-toting fathers protected their huts from the lions that roamed by night. With each footstep
they
were drawn deeper into the horrific violence of
Sudan
's civil war: a world of bombed-out villages, mine-sown roads, and relentless desert, a world where starving adults would snatch the grain from a weak child's fingers. Across
Sudan
, between 1987 and 1989, tens of thousands of young
boys
took flight from these massacres. Their journey led them first to Ethiopia and then, driven back into
Sudan
, toward Kenya.
They
walked nearly one thousand miles, sustained only by the sheer will to live. This book is the
three
boys
' account of that unimaginable journey.--From publisher description.
