Native Ugandans want their country back. As a native Ugandan, Yesofu is confused about how he should feel. He has a friend that has to leave the country, but without Indians in Uganda, maybe he will have a better future. This historical fiction book is well written and you will enjoy getting to know these characters and learning of the struggles they overcome.
