By Tracy Kidder
In 1994, a young man named Deo, escapes from the genocidal civil war in Burundi to the United States. He has $200, knows no one, and speaks no English. Deo’s harrowing story of survival both in Burundi and New York City makes fascinating reading. His journey back to Burundi to establish a medical clinic was inspiring. I found myself wondering several times how author Tracy Kidder was able to encourage Deo to tell his story.
