America Calls to Me: The Story of a Refugee Boy's Journey - Paperback

by Martin Toe (Author)

In 1999 life was good for Martin Toe, the son of an affluent family in Ivory Coast. This reality of happiness and certainty was soon devastated when news from BBC spread about rebel forces making their way in town. In a twinkling of an eye, Martin was deprived of his home and family, running to remain alive, and was obligated to undergo a life he on no account wished for. By some means, Martin's tremendous toughness and spirit enabled him to persevere even in spite of the fact that every single day seemed like his final one.
