  • What is the What
    • Rated 5 stars

    “I listened to this book for about 20 hours. Only once or twice was I unable to listen ... This is an amazing and somewhat fictional account of one of the Lost Boys of Sudan. He went through an astounding amount of hardship as a young boy. I highly recommend this book.”
