This book is a true story about a young boy and his horrific experiences of being ripped from his family in South Sudan to be used as a child soldier during the civil war in his home country. He tells of the trials, challenges and seemingly impossible barriers that he had to overcome just to survive. Lopez's story is inspiring and eye opening as he shares his journey from deplorable circumstances to the amazing opportunity to come to America and realize his dream of becoming an Olympian in track and field.
The story of Lopez's life was beyond comprehension! The book was so fascinating that I was unable to put it down and finished it the same day I started it. His honesty, faith and willingness to share openly about his journey was compelling and inspiring. Anyone with an interest in sports or biographies will be drawn completely into his story. The desires Lopez has to give back to his home country is remarkable and no doubt he will achieve what he sets out to do. I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone and already have told many about it.
