Know that there are many words behind the few on this paper… Fifteen-year-old Nawra lives in Darfur, Sudan, in a camp
for refugees displaced by the Janjaweed’s trail of murder
and destruction. Nawra cannot read or write, but when a
nonprofit organization called Save the Girls pairs her with
an American donor, Nawra dictates her thank-you letters.
Putting her experiences into words begins to free her from
her devastating past—and to brighten the path to her future. K. C. is an American teenager from Richmond, Virginia, who
hates reading and writing—or anything that smacks of
school. But as Nawra pours grief and joy into her letters,
she inspires K. C. to see beyond her own struggles. And as
K. C. opens her heart in her responses to Nawra, she
becomes both a dedicated friend and a passionate activist
for Darfur.
