Strength in What Remains by Tracy Kidder

(read aloud)

About Deo, a young man from Burundi who survived the genocide in Burundi and Rwanda and came to the United States, lived homeless in Central Park, and then went through medical school a second time and built a clinic in Burundi. An amazing story, masterfully written.

I think the writing is even better than the story, which is saying quite a lot.
