Lecture/Book Signing

Carter Presidential Library & Museum Theater Free and Open to the PublicRefugees who have fled famine and violence and resettled in the US too often are isolated, disconnected, living in despair. They typically have housing, food, and clothing. Yet they miss the large inter-connected families, the all-embracing social fabric, and the living culture in which they were raised. This book tells the unknown story of ordinary Americans who saw a need, created an ingenious solution, worked hard, asked nothing in return and found that their own lives were uplifted.
