To avoid conscription into the Sudanese army, seventeen-year-old Francis Zegino leaves his native town of Juba, Sudan, Africa, in 1964, with no shoes and one pair of clothes to join Anyanya, a guerrilla coalition fighting for South Sudan's freedom from Sudan. During his two-year sojourn with Anyanya, Francis goes on various primitive hunting adventures, surviving malaria by eating bush-herbs. He marries Lucia, twenty-three, and they take refuge in the Central African Republic, but Lucia leaves to help her parents' refugee settlement in Bambuti and does not return. Francis later earns a United Nations scholarship to further his studies, which he pursues first in Banqui and then in Liberia. While teaching at two different Liberian institutes, he meets his second wife, Mary, and marries her in 1986. Four years later, their family leaves Liberia amid its civil war. They walk through the bushes for five days, enduring all kinds of hardships, before finally reaching the Ivory Coast, where they settle in Danane and establish a school. Facing prejudicial attacks from jealous factions in Danane, Francis applies for United States residency and finally settles in Memphis, Tennessee, as a permanent refugee. Unable to obtain a teaching job in the US without an American degree, he obtains one in education from Christian Brothers University while working different jobs: factory worker, security officer, and substitute teacher. These jobs teach him important values such as cooperation, responsibility, and self-discipline--values he really learns upon receiving a point-blank letter from his wife accusing him of using and neglecting her and not contributing his share of work and responsibility toward their family and household. Hearing of South Sudan's separation from Sudan through a voter referendum--98 percent said aye--Francis Zegino is hopeful that this newly self-governing nation will one day follow America's example as a model of cultural diversity, open democracy, and liberty and justice for all, despite the war, illiteracy, and poverty that continue to plague his native land.
