A People Tall and Smooth

The book shares the harrowing true experiences of five refugees escaping genocide in South Sudan and Darfur, who journeyed through Egypt to reach Israel, defying their government's restrictions. Arriving in Eilat with nothing but the clothes on their backs, they find solace and friendship with hostel owners John and Judy Pex. The narratives reveal the resilience and hope of these individuals, highlighting their diverse backgrounds—most are Christian, with one being Muslim—while evoking deep emotional responses through their struggles and survival.
