"A New Voice Emerges from the Heart of Africa. Evocative Writing. Disarmingly Sincere." - Ana Bragga, USA
The loss of her mother tears 12-year-old Agalo's family apart. Shuttled from one relative to another, she tries to fit in, aching for the love and belonging she has lost. As her hometown of Gulu faces civil war, she becomes a restless schoolgirl until love arrives through a nun who leads her to an aging Italian priest.
