This biography of Carleton Gonya Cramer is an attempt by his children to describe the man and reconstruct the environment and major events in his life, as remembered by his descendants nearly 30 years after his death in 1986 at age 85. He was a common man in terms of education and social standing, but quite uncommon in terms of his creativity, humility and basic decency. This biography relies heavily on second generation anecdotes which in some cases are inconsistent and may or may not be true to fact. However, they represent the events as recalled by the tellers and, together, paint a true picture

In the early 1980s, thousands of Ethiopian Jews fled the civil unrest, famine and religious persecution of their native land in the hopes of being reunited in Yerusalem, their spiritual homeland, with its promises of a better life. Wuditu and her family risk their lives to make this journey, which leads them to a refugee camp in Sudan, where they are separated. Terrified, 15-year-old Wuditu must return to Ethiopia alone. “Don’t give up, Wuditu! Be strong!” The words of her little sister come to Wuditu in a dream and give her the courage to keep going. Wuditu must find someone to give her food and shelter or she will surely die. Finally Wuditu is offered a solution: working as a servant. However, she quickly realizes that she has become a slave. With nowhere else to go, she stays — until the villagers discover that she is a falasha, a hated Jew. Only her dream of one day being reunited with her family gives her strength — until the arrival of a stranger heralds hope and a new life in Israel. Based on real events, Wuditu’s story mirrors the experiences of thousands of Ethiopian Jews.
