Publisher's Summary
Joseph Lemasolai Lekuton is a Maasai tribesman of Kenya. In this fascinating
autobiography, he shares stories about growing up in his nomadic tribe
down a lion at age 14, to playing soccer for the president of Kenya.
The only member of his family to receive a formal education, Joseph
sometimes lived as much as 40 miles away from school. While at school,
he learned about Western culture and traditions. A member of two very
different communities, Joseph struggled with what he was taught and
what he already knew. But eventually, he learned to balance two worlds.
the Lion is a riveting tale of one man who took his destiny in his own
hands and became an extraordinary citizen of the world.
