  —Mabel Hsu and the team at Katherine Tegen Books for embracing this story and designing a brilliant book.

  —the families and people affected by Idi Amin’s expulsion order. I am in awe of how you persevered in the face of adversity. He forced you to leave everything, but he couldn’t take away your determination, resilience, and spirit for life. Thank you for allowing me to tell your story.
