One Woman. 147 Children. No Way Out.
When civil war reaches the gates of a children's home in South Sudan, Iris Global Missionary Carolyn Figlioli faces an impossible choice: stay and risk everything, or lead 147 children through a war zone to safety.
As soldiers close in, roads vanish, and a chartered plane is refused permission to land, every route out seems to disappear one by one. With nothing left but prayer and the help of a global community refusing to look away, Carolyn must find a way through checkpoints and chaos before the war swallows them whole.
War at Your Door is the true story of an ordinary woman who became a mother to hundreds — and refused to let go of hope when everyone else had run out of options.
