Audie Award Champion, Inspirational/Faith-Based Non-Fiction, 2014 The moving memoir of one brave female who, along with her daughters, has stored 90,000 of her fellow individuals safe, healthy, and educated for over 20 years in Somalia. Dr. Hawa Abdi, "the Mom Teresa of Somalia" and Nobel Peace Award nominee, is the founder of a massive camp for internally displaced people located a few miles from war-torn Mogadishu, Somalia. Since 1991, when the Somali government collapsed, famine struck, and help groups fled, she's dedicated herself to providing help for individuals whose lives have been shattered by violence and poverty. She changed her 1,300 acres of farmland into a camp that has numbered up to 90,000 displaced people, ignoring the clan lines that have often dished up to divide the country. She motivated her daughters, Deqo and Amina, to become doctors. Together, they have saved tens of thousands of lives in her medical center, while providing an education to a huge selection of displaced children. This year 2010, Dr. Abdi was kidnapped by radical insurgents, who also damaged a lot of her hospital, simply because she was a woman. She, along with media pressure, persuaded the rebels to let her go, and she demanded and received a written apology. Dr. Abdi's tale of incomprehensible bravery and perseverance will motivate listeners everywhere.
