Long Walk Up: Childhood Journey From Tragedy To Triumph
by Denise Turney

"However long the night, the dawn will break." — African Proverb Long Walk Up is the gripping tale of Mulukan, a young orphan girl who, despite the odds against her, continues her journey from poverty and despair en route to her remarkable and triumphant destiny. Long Walk Up also tells the story of the African community Mulukan and her family are rooted in, a community facing extension beneath heavy blows of drought and malaria. A choice young Mulukan makes could cost the community tremendous upset. Not one for tending to others feelings until they halt her own progress, Mulukan sets out on a path that leads her into history records.
