    "Refugees! A Family's Search for Freedom and a Church That Helped Them Find It" recounts the story of a family who escaped their home during a time of war. Afloat on the high seas for many days, they were salvaged by the United Nations. Their new life began when a church in Ohio opened its doors to resettle them.

    From the moment the refugees stepped off the plane, the author leads readers through her church's experience as the family adapted to their new surroundings. From setting up a household, to teaching the refugees English, finding them a job, and acclimating them to their new life in America, the author walks churches through the process of resettling refugees in the common era.
