A large winter jacket. A faded Lugandan Bible. A passport with an expired visa. Twenty-two dollars.

When Umaru Moses arrived in the USA from Uganda at eighteen, he saw it as an opportunity to leave behind his troubled past and form a new life. But one year later, he finds himself cut off from everyone he cared about, with fewer resources than he arrived with, and a religious struggle raging within him.

Now Umaru finds his entire plan for a life in America at the brink of a cop approaches him as he sleeps behind a grocery store in Georgia. As the threat of deportation looms, he must contend with the decisions that led him here.

Teaming up with a group of similarly hardened homeless kids in order to survive in the slums of Kampala. Umaru eked out a life for himself by scrounging for food, huffing gasoline, and stealing scrap metal. When an underfunded orphanage supported by a group of overzealous Christian missionaries offer to take him in, Umaru sees it as divine intervention. With that belief of deliverance and little else, he seizes upon his chance to live in America by running away during a field trip to Chicago.

Instead, Umaru finds himself in a more polarizing society than he anticipated and what he thought was an escape turns out to be a reckoning with his faith, sacrifices, sexuality, and upbringing through flashbacks and episodes that highlight his battle with his traumatic past.

A coming-of-age story at its heart, the book interweaves tales of survival, perseverance, struggle, and hope to create a collage of modern American culture and its influence on those who seek to assimilate into it.
