In alternating first-person accounts and letters, fifteen-year-old Nawra, living in a camp in the Sudan, and K. C., a fourteen-year-old Virginia girl struggling with learning disabilities, find strength in their pen-pal friendship. Nawra's letters are embroidered with Sudanese proverbs; despite believing she is "dumb," K. C. invests her letters with curiosity and spirit. These two correspondents make readers long to learn more about them.
