Lost Boy No More tells the incredible true story of Abraham Nhial—but the story is not his alone. As a nine year-old child, Abraham found himself orphaned as civil war in his homeland of Sudan ravaged his entire village because they refused to embrace Islam. His journey is one of a perilous walk along with 35,000 lost boys of Sudan who fled to Ethiopia. Abraham and others like him made it to the border but hard times were not over as he endured the refugee camps of Ethiopia. Abraham becomes a lost boy no more when he discovers real salvation through Jesus Christ. Lost Boy No More gives more than a narrative of Abraham’s story. It also gives a history of Sudan and the persecution of Christians by Islamic militants.

From the national bestselling author of Alice comes a familiar story with a dark hook—a tale about Peter Pan and the friend who became his nemesis, a nemesis who may not be the blackhearted villain Peter says he is… There is one version of my story that everyone knows. And then there is the truth. This is how it happened. How I went from being Peter Pan’s first—and favorite—lost boy to his greatest enemy. Peter brought me to his island because there were no rules and no grownups to make us mind. He brought boys from the Other Place to join in the fun, but Peter's idea of fun is sharper than a pirate’s sword. Because it’s never been all fun and games on the island. Our neighbors are pirates and monsters. Our toys are knife and stick and rock—the kinds of playthings that bite. Peter promised we would all be young and happy forever. Peter lies.

What Is the What is the story of Valentino Achak Deng, a refugee in war-ravaged southern Sudan who flees from his village in the mid-1980s and becomes one of the so-called Lost Boys. Valentino’s travels bring him in contact with enemy soldiers, with liberation rebels, with hyenas and lions, with disease and starvation, and with deadly murahaleen (militias on horseback)–the same sort who currently terrorize Darfur. Eventually Deng is resettled in the United States with almost 4000 other young Sudanese men, and a very different struggle begins. Based closely on true experiences, What Is the What is heartbreaking and arresting, filled with adventure, suspense, tragedy, and, finally, triumph.

You're writing a book. But as it turns out, writing a book is difficult! In your head, the narrative is grand and beautiful--some might even say epic, majestic, a story for the ages! But as you're rereading what you've got so far, you find yourself... disappointed. It's not at all how you imagined it, with choppy language, weak characters, and thin description of the setting. It lacks depth and form, but you don't exactly know how to fix it. Writing and revising fiction is challenging, and the strategies for doing it well are varied and highly subjective. And the truth is, there's no single "right way" to craft a narrative. So how do you do it? How do you take what seems like a brilliant idea for a story and craft it into something wonderful, that truly represents what you know you're capable of? How do you add the depth and elegance that will have people reading your book for decades to come? In the book The Intersection of Setting and Story, delve into the craft of creating compelling fiction with A.J. Sieling. This book will examine the many uses for setting, and how a writer can blend it with the other elements of story to build a narrative web which captures the reader's imagination.
