The Journey of the Lost Boys: A Story of Courage Faith And the Sheer Determination to Survive by a Group of Young Children Called the Lost Boys of Sudan”” by Joan Hecht

For the first time, The Journey of the Lost Boys offers readers a chronological timeline of the epic journey taken by these children, beginning in their rural villages of Southern Sudan and ending with their arrival as young men to the United States. Narrated through the voice of Joan Hecht, one of their American mentors, whom they lovingly call mom or Mama Joan; The Journey of the Lost Boys  is a compelling story of courage, faith and the sheer determination to survive by a group of young orphaned boys. Because of Ms. Hecht’s personal relationship with them, she is able to portray their story in a way that most famous reporters and authors cannot. In addition to her extensive research of the political and historical events surrounding this long lasting civil war, are the heart-rending personal stories of the boys themselves.
