Walk toward the rising sun
from child soldier to ambassador of peace
Book - 2020
Ger Duany just wanted to make his family proud, play with his brothers and sisters, and maybe get an education and become a soldier when he's older. But when his village was attacked by the North Sudanese military, he was forced to become a child soldier and saw many of his loved ones die. After he escaped and came to America in the 1990s, Ger worked to adjust to a new life. Soon he became an actor, a model, and a UN Goodwill Ambassador while also dealing with PTSD and a new kind of racism.
