The Boy Who Risked His Life For Two Countries is a gripping memoir of a young boy's journey from war-torn Sudan to the United States. It is a story of courage, determination, and the power of hope.

Abraham Atem was born in Sudan in 1993. His childhood was marked by violence and poverty. At the age of seven, he was forced to flee his home with his family after their village was attacked by rebels. They spent the next several years living in a refugee camp in Kenya.

In 2001, Abraham and his family were resettled in the United States. They settled in a small town in Maine, where Abraham began to rebuild his life. He learned English, made new friends, and started school. But he never forgot the horrors he had witnessed in Sudan.

When Abraham was 16 years old, he decided to return to Sudan to help his people. He knew it was a dangerous journey, but he was determined to make a difference. He spent the next several months working with a humanitarian organization, providing food and medical care to people in need.

Abraham's work in Sudan was dangerous, but he never gave up. He risked his life to help others, and he inspired people all over the world. In 2013, he was awarded the Reebok Human Rights Award for his work.

The Boy Who Risked His Life For Two Countries is a powerful story of courage, determination, and the power of hope. It is a story that will inspire readers of all ages.
