Half the World

Nearly 1 out of every 100 people worldwide is a person displaced and seeking asylum, imperiled by persecution and war. Half the World takes measure of that staggering crisis in stories from a city transformed. Compelling. Anyone who wants to understand the people we label ‘refugees’ must read this book." – Jan Reeves, director, Idaho Office for Refugees "Magnificent. The stories inspire equal parts joy and heartbreak. They are essential reading, and are now as much a part of Idaho’s history as any other chronicle." – George Prentice, news editor, the Boise Weekly
