By 1996, millions of South Sudanese have been killed, died of
starvation, or fled the decades-long civil war ravaging their
country. So when the Presbyterian Church in the United States
begins recruiting a development team to work with war refugees in
the region, Caroline and her husband Mark are eager to help. But
it’s only months before ghosts from their individual pasts
whistle in to disrupt their marriage and their new postings.
Caroline finds relief in teaching and peace work in South Sudan,
but the heavy responsibility she now carries for dozens of
vulnerable families—coupled with the prevailing ideas of Biblical
womanhood that put pressure on her personal life—makes it
increasingly clear that Caroline is under-prepared for the
high-stakes crisis in which she is now embedded. Through a number
of consequential mistakes and increasingly debilitating self-doubt,
Caroline clings to hope that her willingness to stand with the
South Sudanese will count for something in the end. A deeply
personal examination of South Sudan at war—and a woman at war
with herself—Today is Tomorrow shines a warm light on the darkest
of places.
