Summary: Great Read for All Ages
Comment: This book describes what it was like for Mr. Lekuton growing up as a nomad in Northern Kenya. In his world, the lions he faced were real animals! However, the book is applicable to American kids also, because the lion is really a metaphor for the challenges we all face in life. It is an inspiring, well-written book that lets everyone know that obstacles in life can be overcome! Mr. Lekuton grew up in a dung hut and ended up with a Master's degree from Harvard--that's an inspiration to all of us.

Summary: Also a Harvard Warrior
Comment: Facing the Lion is a terrific read. For those that have dreamed of African success stories, this story tops them all. Mr. Lekuton has worked his way from the desert near Marsabit, Kenya to Langley School near Washington D.C. He is still a product of the environment he grew up in, but conversant with people in the top level of government in Kenya and the U.S. His story is an inspiration to all that worked in Africa for the Peace Corps or Non Governmental Organizations (NGO's) because it proves that out there in Africa there is much hope waiting to be found. I have a strong visual image of Joseph sitting across from Moi High School trying to figure out how he could get in, even with the entrance letter amoung his things. He is now a hero to all those secondary school children at Moi, a true African role model.
In a time of uncertainty and despair, this book shines as a true
beacon of the good things that can come from Africa. My hat is off to this Maasai and Harvard warrior.
