You don't hear a lot about Lost Girls in the civil war taking place in Sudan/South Sudan. In this book, Achut Deng tells us her story of her life in Sudan and fleeing the Civil War to eventually come live in the United States, and all that entails. It's powerful and heartbreaking. I also recommend listening to the NPR piece to get a sense of how COVID affected her life further.
