A story of a hero of our time, the beautifully told account of med student, Deo, who arrives in the US from Burundi with $200, no English, and no contacts. Deo learns English from dictionaries, is befriended by strangers, and ultimately completes medical school. Told by Pulitzer Prize winning author Tracy Kidder, author of another medical biography which I adore, Mountains Beyond Mountains.
