Description
Today Is Tomorrow by Caroline Kurtz explores the complexities of war and personal struggle in South Sudan. In 1996, millions were affected by decades-long civil war, prompting the Presbyterian Church to recruit development teams to help refugees. For Caroline and her husband Mark, this new posting offered a chance to make a difference. However, their efforts are soon disrupted by personal ghosts from their pasts. As Caroline becomes increasingly involved in teaching and peace work, she faces heavy responsibility for vulnerable families and grapples with the pressure of Biblical womanhood on her personal life. Through mistakes and self-doubt, Caroline clings to hope that her actions will have a lasting impact. This deeply personal account shines a light on the darkest places, offering a nuanced examination of South Sudan at war and a woman's struggle to find her place in it.
