I have been fascinated with Africa lately. I want to know so much about the continent, the people, their trials and their tribulations. This was the story of a young man named Deo who escaped the ethnic genocide in Burundi in the 1990's to unfortunately find himself homeless in the United States. We learn how he escaped from his country, what he had to endure in America and his resilience to overcome such obstacles. We also get to see how this affected him as he returns to Burundi with Mr. Kidder. This is a story that is heartbreaking and heartwarming. How he survived to become a successful member of society is extremely inspiring.
The book did get bogged down a few times with a few too many details but overall it is a very good and enlightening read.
