    About this ebook

    This is the real-life story of 10-year-old refugee Ali, who is forced to flee his home country of Afghanistan with his grandmother. Told in Ali's words, this story documents the feelings of alienation, separation, and suffering war can place on immigrant children and their families. This story also shares the hope Ali and his family has to overcome their ordeals.
