Among the many victims of the civil war in Sudan are the Lost Boys, remarkable children and teenagers who trekked from Sudan to Ethiopian and then to Kenyan refugee camps. Some are now adjusting to life in the United States. Garang helps his fellow young refugees stay strong in this first-person fictionalized account. Christie's distinctive, powerful acrylic paintings support the long text.
