Winner of the Moore Prize 2021 'A beautiful, moving and important
book' - Simon Reeve Veronica is a teenager when civil war erupts in
South Sudan, the world's youngest country. Lonely and friendless
after the death of her father, she finds solace in her first
boyfriend, and together they flee across the city when fighting
breaks out. On the same night Daniel, the son of a colonel, also
makes his escape, but finds himself stranded beside the River Nile,
alone and vulnerable. Lilian is a young mother who runs for her
life holding the hand of her little boy, Harmony - until a bomb
attack wrenches them apart and she is forced to trek on alone.
After epic journeys of endurance, these three young people's lives
cross in Bidi Bidi in Uganda - the world's largest refugee camp.
There they meet James, a counsellor who helps them find light and
hope in the darkest of places. In a gripping true-life narrative,
Rosalind Russell tells their stories with uplifting empathy and
tenderness.
