About this audiobook
In 1991, ten-year-old Abdullahi's world shatters when civil war erupts in Mogadishu. Separated from his parents and older brother during the chaos, he flees with his baby sister Nasra and an elderly stranger named Hawa. Their harrowing journey takes them from the burning streets of Somalia to refugee camps, and finally to a new life in snow-covered Minneapolis.
But Abdullahi never stops searching for his lost family. For twenty years, he carries the weight of separation—building a life in America while desperately seeking traces of his mother and brother across continents. From teenage refugee to college graduate to aid worker, he transforms his pain into purpose, helping other displaced families while never abandoning hope.
