“Beyond the Sand and Sea is an extraordinary and inspiring book for anyone searching for pinpricks of light in the darkness. Meticulously reported over three years, it reveals the strength of a family of Somali refugees who never lost faith in America―and exposes the broken refugee resettlement system that kept that family trapped for more than two decades and has turned millions into permanent exiles” (St. Martin’s Press/ March 30, 2021).

While the event is free for all participants, a $20 donation will get you a discounted, signed copy of this novel. Donate quickly, only 14 of these books are available!
