The 8th country I visited whilst reading around the world is Kenya!
Facing the lion is an autobiography from Joseph Lemasolai Lekuton. It tells about growing up as a Maasai warrior. Joseph went to school when he was six years old and was determined to do well as his parents sold their precious cattle in order for him to attend. He won a scholarship and continued his studies over in America. A wonderful story of how he blends the traditions of the Maasai with the his life of a student and continues to raise an understanding of his tribes way of life.
