A Stranger At My Door is a personal odyssey of challenge, failure, and redemption. A man in desperate crisis appears at the doorstep of a family home in the Sonoran desert. Attempts to do the right thing--to provide food, clothing, shelter--are hampered by the politics of fear and xenophobia. Taking a stand on the side of compassion, Peg Bowden, a retired nurse and humanitarian aid worker, explores the ethical and moral values that drive her life choices, which at this particular moment in time, do not align with the politics of her homeland. This is a tale of a relationship between two people whose very differences about the "other" forge a friendship that transcends the borders of their lives.

Review
Peg Bowden is a wonderful writer, and A Stranger at My Door is a stunning work. She knows what she's talking about, and she can walk you out into territory you might never forget.
- Luis Alberto Urrea, author of The Devil’s Highway
This is a drama of generosity and unexpectedness, illustrating the rewards of compassion. Peg Bowden's is an especially important book for the times we live in, and for all time.
- Paul Theroux, author of On the Plain of Snakes: A Mexican Journey
Propelled by profound acts of compassion and humanity, this story asks readers to reevaluate their notion of what it means to live an ethical life in America’s borderlands.
- Francisco Cantú, author of The Line Becomes a River: Dispatches from the Border
