""As a voice for his people, strength is derived from the incisive, disquieting facts presented by Jekap Omod. This work of enduring importance describes the harrowing resilience of a people devoted to their ancestral land and customs. Injustices echo as details of ethnic crises unfold, leaving a culture on the brink of extinction."" --Elizabeth Spor Taylor, author of My Five Senses
