A deeply moving dual memoir that traces the intertwined lives of a mother and daughter across continents and conflict zones. Maggie, born in colonial India, reflects on her own journey while piecing together the extraordinary story of her daughter Emmaan Oxford graduate and humanitarian who worked with displaced children in Sudan. Emmas life took a dramatic turn when she married Riek Machar, a guerrilla commander in the Sudan Peoples Liberation Army. Through Emmas diaries and Maggies introspection, the book explores themes of love, resilience, cultural collision, and the search for meaning after loss. Its a powerful meditation on motherhood, legacy, and the personal cost of political upheaval.
