Life as a Lost Boy

The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010
Civil war tore apart John Bul Dau's village in Sudan when he was 12 years old. He fled, as one of the "Lost Boys of Sudan," and eventually adapted to life in the United States. He joins us to talk about his memoir God Grew Tired of Us, and about his efforts to raise money for a health clinic in his old hometown.

God Grew Tired of Us is available for purchase at amazon.com
