Summary A beautifully wrought novel about an immigrant's journey from hardship to hope. Kek comes from Africa. There he lived with his mother, father, and brother. But only he and his mother have survived, and now she's missing. Kek is on his own. Then he is sent to America to live with relatives and to await word of his mother's fate. In America, he weathers the tough Minnesota winter by finding warmth in his new friendships, strength in his memories and belief in his new country.
