"Nya, an eleven-year-old girl, walks for several hours every day to fetch water for her family in Sudan. Salva, a boy of the same age, becomes one of the Lost Boys of his country, the same as Nya, and travels across the African continent, on foot, alongside other refugees looking for their families and a safe place. Their stories, told in parallel, set in different decades, will come together in an absolutely unexpected way. Based on a true story, this is a book that shows us how, even in a country full of problems, two survivors can find a future of hope - for their lives and those around them." --presenca.pt.
