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. 600 10 Deng, Benson. 600 10 Deng, Alephonsion. 600 10 Ajak, Benjamin. 650 0 Refugees|zSudan|vBiography. 651 0 Sudan|xHistory|yCivil War, 1983-2005. 700 1 Deng, Benson. 700 1 Ajak, Benjamin. 700 1 Bernstein, Judy. 935 421528 938 Baker & Taylor|bBKTY|c25.00|d18.75|i1586482696|n0006161182 |sactive 938 YBP Library Services|bYANK|n2186813 994 C0|bRID
