Reviews

“From the cover of Hinterlands of Hope to the end, it is an amazing real-life story of a young boy's struggle to survive as a refugee from the Second Sudanese Civil War. Against the backdrop of political and military conflict, you will follow Daniel Yamun Ukang on foot as he sets out across the Sahara desert seeking safety. I found it to be a real page-turner and an inspiration. It highlights some of humankind's worst and some of humankind's best. It is a phenomenal account that I wish everyone could read--and perhaps they will."
