Description
"Susanna, George, and their eight-year-old daughter Dina have been lucky so far in these four years since war broke out in their country. Even as their fellow 'minority-sect' neighbors and classmates are murdered or imprisoned, George's loyal work teaching 'dominant-sect' literature has kept them fed and protected. But then the day comes: the university fires George--despite his years of collaboration, he is no longer safe. Left without money or allies, it is time for the family to run. Embarking on a harrowing trip through refugee camps and across the sea, both George and Susanna are forced in their own ways to make sacrifices to keep Dina safe, while Dina fights to understand the chaotic world crashing down around her"--
