Lost Girls

The only group more heart wrenching than the lost boys in They Poured Fire on Us From the Sky is the lost girls of Sudan. Despite a much smaller number ,1,000 to 3,000 of girls out of the 20,000 children, these girls who followed a similar journey were left in the care of foster homes which provided even less support than the boys' homes. Judy Bernstein only devotes a paragraph of the book to the lost girls, but the internet has far more information about their struggle and how they were not offered the same psychological therapy the boys were.
