DEDICATION
This story is dedicated to those who sacrificed their lives in Sudan’s civil war, those injured and mutilated by it and those displaced with no hope of returning to their homes. In a larger sense, we want it to bring hope to oppressed people everywhere who are in crisis—particularly children—looking for solutions as they remember the turmoil they endured. We pray that their dreams may become reality and the legacy of their suffering turn to happiness through that struggle. With faith in God, we hope that one day these people will find support and comfort by sharing stories of their painful journey as we have done in sharing ours.
—Ayuel Leek Deng and Beny Ngor Chol
