Achak has lived several lives by the time we meet him in this memoir/novel. He has been a carefree child, an assumed orphan, targeted as a child soldier in training for the rebels, and a young professional in a refugee camp.
As he tells his story to the various people he encounters over a two-day period in Atlanta, (a clever mechanism for the narration) he shares not only the heartbreak, but the humor that surfaces inevitably in the worst of times.
Readers will leave enlightened about the Lost Boys of Sudan and the reality of their lives after Africa.
