News tends to focus on the politics of war and violence, but the real devastation occurs at an individual level. People's lives are torn apart. What happens to them? How do they cope?

I've seen this story before. My favorite book, What is a What by David Eggers explores a similar journey to freedom as experienced by a child from Sudan.
