Young Bol Gai (bowl guy) lived in a peaceful Dinka village in southern Sudan—until the night his whole world changed forever! In a government-supported raid, his community was violently destroyed.

Two things proved to be his saving grace: the lessons he had learned from his mother and his special love for animals.
