What is the What is a heartbreaking and heartwarming story about Valentino Achak Deng, a Lost Boy of Sudan.
Dave Eggers tells his story through fact and some fictionalized accounts.
It’s amazing to read all that Valentino went through during his flight from
Sudan to escape the civil war where over two million people died.
He had to leave his family without ever seeing them again, watch many of his dear friends die on the treks to
Ethiopia and
Kenya, endure countless days without food or water, and tolerate many trials and tribulations at various refugee camps.
However, Valentino is a hopeful soul and though his tale is full of much sorrow
What is the What is an inspirational read because of his positive attitude and resilience.
