 One Bills Drive has been the Buffalo Bills' address for football excitement for more than half a century. The Orchard Park stadium's arrival in 1973 was a sign that the team would stay in Western New York for years to come. Now the National Football League franchise is preparing to cross Abbott Road to begin a new era in the team's history in a state-of-the-art facility. The fans will go with them, of course, and they'll be carrying along their memories when they enter the team's new home. This book serves as a great way to look back at the 50 best games of an era--with its last-minute finishes, dramatic comebacks, dominating performances, and individual highlights from players such as O.J. Simpson, Jim Kelly, Thurman Thomas, Bruce Smith, and Josh Allen. One Bills Drive is the perfect reading companion for those who spent so many fall Sundays, through snow or sunshine, cheering for the Bills.

At just eighteen years old, Sudhir Suchak made a daring escape from the island of Zanzibar in East Africa.

At just eighteen years old, Sudhir Suchak made a daring escape from the island of Zanzibar in East Africa.

Fleeing a repressive regime, political violence, and the trauma of a genocide that tore apart the fabric of his family; he

trusted his father's belief that boarding a ship with the ultimate goal of reaching America, would lead to a better life.

Hidden aboard a steamship, escaping with nothing but hope in his heart, he risked everything for a chance at

freedom.

His journey from stowaway to survivor unfolded not just across continents, but through dislocation,

discovery, and the long and onerous work to start anew in a country he had never seen.

Told with unflinching honesty and in vivid detail; Last Boat to Freedom traces the cost of survival - from the trauma

left behind on the island, the perilous journey as a stowaway, brutal violence, and the first bewildering year in

America. He learned firsthand what it means to belong in a land that promised freedom but didn't always offer

acceptance.

Decades later, he returned to Zanzibar with his family, walking through the streets of his childhood, now transformed

by time and memory. What he found was both familiar and foreign, a powerful reminder of what was lost - and what

was gained.

Last Boat to Freedom is a powerful testament to resilience, perseverance, identity and the enduring power of a single

choice.
