Synopsis
What do you bring with you when you leave everything behind?
Two teenage refugees, Leila from Ethiopia and Kofi from Ghana arrive in America as strangers in a strange land. Their stories collide in the unfamiliar hallways of a Memphis middle school, where survival means staying invisible, and speaking up often comes with a price.
But when Leila’s poetry and Kofi’s hidden gift for soccer are discovered, everything changes. Suddenly, they are no longer just “the new kids”—they are voices in a conversation they never chose to enter. Together, they must navigate cultural tension, peer pressure, family expectations, and the deep longing for home.
Finding Refuge: What We Left, What We Brought, What We Found is a poignant, timely novel for readers ages 10 and up. A classroom essential and book club favorite, Finding Refuge invites readers to reflect, empathize, and understand the power of voice, story, and belonging.
