I just finished the book, What is the What by Dave Eggers. It took me a little while because I stopped to read a couple of other books while I was reading it, but what an awesome book.
It's an almost true story of a man who was one of the Lost Boys of Sudan and was finally relocated to the United States and lives in Atlanta. He worked with Dave Eggers, who wrote his story.
It wasn't a book that I thought I would really enjoy...and maybe enjoy isn't the right word, but it gives me such an appreciation for what some people have to go through in their lifetime. And how, even though we do have struggles, they don't seem to amount to much when put in the proper perspective.
I highly recommend this book...it's a great read and a great way to learn about another culture so different from our own.
