"Lost Boy" John Bul Dau’s harrowing experience surviving the

brutal horrors of Sudanese civil war and his adjustment to life in

modern America is chronicled in this inspiring memoir and featured

in an award-winning documentary film of the same name. Movingly

written, the book traces Dau’s journey through hunger, exhaustion,

terror, and violence as he fled his homeland, dodging ambushes,

massacres and attacks by wild animals. His tortuous, 14-year

journey began in 1987, when he was just 13, and took him on a

1,000-mile walk, barefoot, to Ethiopia, back to Sudan, then to a

refugee camp in Kenya, where he lived with thousands of other Lost

Boys. In 2001, at the age of 27, he immigrated to the United

States. With touching humor, Dau recounts the shock of his tribal

culture colliding with life in America. He shares the joy of

reuniting with his family and the challenges of making a new life

for himself while never forgetting the other Lost Boys he left

behind.
