Viola's
life began in Juba in Sudan. The country is a war and it
isn't safe for anyone. The family would love to leave
but the village is surrounded by land mines and trying
to escape is a very dangerous venture. But Viola, her
mother and younger brother are able to get out and make
the long trek to Khartoum and eventually Cairo.
After years in the refugee camp, they finally get their
paperwork to go to the United States. But they have lost
so much on the way, including her brother. Life in
Portland Maine is so different and Viola reflects on her
life and the differences between her old life and the
new one.
