Pulitzer Prize–winning author Kidder’s nonfiction account follows the remarkable journey of Deo, from the mountains of Burundi, where he survived civil war and genocide, to homelessness in New York, and ultimately to his enrollment at Columbia University, Cambridge, and Harvard. The narrative also explores his direct, tireless involvement with “Village Health Works,” a clinic and public health organization providing medical services in Kigutu, Burundi. The clinic expanded with the Woman’s Health Pavilion, opened on June 22nd, 2023.
Kidder describes the book as “about a young man who gets caught up in history and makes a long escape.” Ron Suskind of “The New York Times” suggested Kidder “may have just written his finest work” with this non-fiction title.
