The author shares the powerful true story of Salva Dut, a young Sudanese from his eleventh year to his early 20s by merging it with the fictionalized story of a young Sudanese girl that concludes with the two meeting each other in the final chapter as she approaches the young man with a simple "Thank you." Salva's survival and desire to give back to the people can't help but capture even the most reluctant of readers. The horrors of the conflicts in Sudan as well as living conditions in the refugee camps are touched upon but not belabored. This is a true story of survival simply told in a book numbering 121 pages that will stay with the reader long after the last page is turned.
