This story gives anyone courageous enough to experience it, insight into the troubled reality that America and Nigeria share. It also shows a world beyond the beast-like behaviors of many as well as the beauty that triumphs within the heart and soul of disadvantaged individuals living in a country torn apart by greed and indifference. America is a melting pot of characters and cultures, making it a savory stew of people and ways of life. How do foreigners create home in a strange land? S.O.S is a must read for any outsider searching for a place of healing and belonging.
