From Somalia to the U.S.A. 1984. A young shepherd boy stands in front of
his mother to tell her of the decision he has made in the night. He has had
enough of the nomadic life, of herding goats and sheep, and is leaving to
seek out a better life. With that, he sets off on an adventure that takes
him on the road less traveled from Somalia to Minnesota. It’s the epic tale
of Ahmed Ismail Yusuf who, inspired by Maya Angelou, discovers the power of
the written word.
