No Way but Through: An American Refugee Story - Softcover

"In No Way But Through: An American Refugee Story, the author flips the script of current news stories with a plotline that places Americans as refugees in Mexico after a surprise attack by Russia that cripples the US and send millions fleeing for safety. The story weaves both the present and the past in a time-oriented manner that urges the reader to engage as if in real-time. Personally, this book helped me to consider more closely the plight of millions of refugees who face these sorts of daily challenges with greater empathy and a desire for further understanding." - Joseph Thouvenel, George Fox University

"The characters in this novel are as relatable as next door neighbors. Readers can’t help but fear for them, grieve with them and root for them as they struggle to survive together. The plot is fast paced and captivating. This story turns the refugee narrative on its head and is a must-read in today’s political climate. Personal, Heart-wrenching, Important."     - Sarah 

"Absolutely loved this book. I couldn’t stop reading, & I find myself wanting more, now that I’ve finished it. Having spent time in the refugee camps myself, this book pulled all my heart strings as I dove into the life of the Smiths on their journey out of the chaos that overtook their American Dream. 10/10 recommend everyone to read!" - Cathy

"It didn't take long to connect with the characters of this book - to feel their fear, their pain, and their loss. In no way could it completely replicate the feelings of those who have had first hand experience as a refugee, but it sure opened my eyes to a little of what they go through. I highly recommend this book." - Jennifer
