He is one the Lost Boys of the Sudan, whose story you read in God Grew Tired of Us. He is currently living not too far from us in upstate New York and has occasionally traveled to Rochester to speak. This link is to his website - if you go to the homepage, you can see ways that he has tried to raise money for the Sudan and some of them are surprisingly simple. If you just click on this link, there is a map in the bottom right that shows you exactly the journey these boys traveled and gives a rough idea of time.
Does this map and these facts help make the story more alive for you? Should it have been a detail they included in the novel?
Read and respond.
