In all of my years reviewing books, I have rarely come across a book as compelling and timely as They Poured Fire on Us from the Sky. This book is about a child's nightmare of being alone in the world, a nightmare for all who have seen the images of masses of humans: mothers, fathers, sisters, and brothers, who have been wiped off the face of this vast amazing country of Sudan by a brutal civil war that still rages today.
