520    "From Ty McCormick, winner of the Robert F. Kennedy 
       Journalism Award, an epic and timeless story of a family 
       in search of safety, security, and a place to call home. 
       When Asad Hussein was growing up in the world's largest 
       refugee camp, nearly every aspect of life revolved around 
       getting to America-a distant land where anything was 
       possible. Thousands of displaced families like his were 
       whisked away to the United States in the mid-2000s, 
       leaving the dusty encampment in northeastern Kenya for new
       lives in suburban America. When Asad was nine, his older 
       sister Maryan was resettled in Arizona, but Asad, his 
       parents, and his other siblings were left behind. In the 
       years they waited to join her, Asad found refuge in dog-
       eared novels donated by American charities, many of them 
       written by immigrants who had come to the United States 
       from poor and war-torn countries. Maryan nourished his 
       dreams of someday writing such novels, but it would be 
       another fourteen years before he set foot in America. The 
       story of Asad and his family's escape from Dadaab refugee 
       camp is one of perseverance in the face of overwhelming 
       adversity. It is also a story of happenstance, of long 
       odds and impossibly good luck, and of uncommon generosity.
       In a world where too many young men are forced to make 
       dangerous sea crossings in search of work, are recruited 
       into extremist groups, and die at the hands of brutal 
       security forces, Asad not only made it to the United 
       States to join Maryan, but won a scholarship to study 
       literature at Princeton-the first person born in Dadaab 
       ever admitted to the prestigious university. Beyond the 
       Sand and Sea is an extraordinary and inspiring book for 
       anyone searching for pinpricks of light in the darkness. 
       Meticulously reported over three years, it reveals the 
       strength of a family of Somali refugees who never lost 
       faith in America-and exposes the broken refugee 
       resettlement system that kept that family trapped for more
       than two decades and has turned millions into permanent 
       exiles"--|cProvided by publisher.
