Fifteen year old Sabine lives a life of luxury with her family in Kampala, Uganda. When Idi Amin comes to power, he decrees that all Indians must leave Uganda and the countdown begins. All Indians, Ugandan born or not, are at risk. This becomes a reality for Sabine when her uncle disappears and her best friend turns against her because she, like most African Ugandans, feel that the Indians have exploited them. This book is a stirring portrayal of the rising terror and violence in 1972 as the radio continues the countdown and Sabine and her family try to escape.
