Disturbed in Their Nests: A Journey from Sudan's Dinkaland to San Diego's City Heights

More about the book

Partnered through a mentoring program in San Diego, Sudanese refugee Alephonsion Deng and suburban mom Judy Bernstein began an eye-opening journey that radically altered their vision and life. This book recounts the first year of this partnership: the initial misunderstandings, the growing trust, and, ultimately, the lasting friendship. Their contrasting points of view provide of-the-moment insight into what refugees face when torn from their own cultures and thrust into entirely foreign ones.
