One night around 11:00 am, government soldiers forced into Sisay's house told him to get up and come with them to a detention facility. At the time he was confused what was going on. They forced him and his daughter onto a dump truck along with other deportees. You Eritrean people should leave our country said one of the soldier literally at gun point. This is a government order so that you are not allowed to ask any questions. After hours of driving we have been told to get off the truck wait a bus to drive all of us to the Eritrean border. During the voyage the bus he was in had engine problem. The bus driver could not control the bus. The bus hit the guardrail, overturned and fell down the steep roadside. No one survived from the accident including Sisay, his daughter and best friend Abeba.
Although this cruel persecution led to his death, Sisay remained a sincere and fearful of God while he was alive. His struggle helped him to strengthen his faith and hope—more importantly, his faith in the Almighty God. Due to his perseverance in faith, he was chosen by our Creator and given him the second chance in life on earth. It will be seen in the book how he lived this second gift of God, the second life in earth, and how he met his beloved former girlfriend Hiwot.
