A gripping, inspiring, and eye-opening memoir of fortitude and survivalof a twelve-year-old boy's traumatic flight from Afghanistan to the Westthat puts a face to one of the most shocking and devastating humanitarian crises of our time. In 2006, after his father was killed, Gulwali Passarlay was caught between the Taliban who wanted to recruit him, and the Americans who wanted to use him. To protect her son, Gulwali's mother sent him away. The search for safety would lead the twelve-year-old across eight countries, from the mountains of eastern Afghanistan through Iran and Europe to Britain. Over the course of twelve harrowing months, Gulwali endured imprisonment, hunger, cruelty, brutality, loneliness, and terrorand nearly drowned crossing the Mediterranean Sea.
