Dressed in a navy blue shirt, he waved to the cameras with unconcealed glee. "It's matter of joy. The judgment, by the grace...

Unlike many of the Lost Boys, however, Jal finds salvation through the grace of two women who steer him toward education. His subsequent life as a rapper and philanthropist trying to save other children from similar pain and anguish leaves hope for the possibility of redemption...
