Don Brown tells the stories of refugees escaping from war-torn Syria in this powerful graphic novel. It's not just the leaving that is traumatic, but also the arriving; refugees are not wanted in most countries where they find a place of safety. Many refugees end up staying in temporary quarters for years. Their numbers overwhelm the countries where they settle. It is a story that needed to be told, and Brown tells the story in a way that allows the reader to understand the frustration of both the refugees and those living in places that offer sanctuary.
