A Lost Girl of Sudan Shares Her Powerful Story

   

When Rebecca Deng was just six years old, rebels soldiers ransacked her village in South Sudan, killing her parents and loved ones. Rebecca escaped into the forest and wandered 1,000 miles to a refugee camp in Kenya. She ultimately found asylum in Michigan. Her riveting tale is captured in a new memoir called What They Meant for Evil. On the podcast, Rebecca shares her amazing journey both in war-torn Africa and in her strange new land of Grand Rapids. She also talks of survivor guilt and managing to stay sane in incredibly stressful situations.
