An incredibly moving book that will break your heart and make you very angry at the injustice of it all.
Hadi is returning to his pregnant wife in the US after visiting Jordan to bury his father. As he leaves the plane he is immediately detained and reused entry. Without warning President Trump has enforced an Executive Order travel ban on citizens from countries such as Syria where Hadi was born. Despite having the relevant visas his rights are terminated leaving him with nothing but his passport, returned to a country he had risked his life to escape.
This is a story of the lives of a devoted couple torn apartby the inhumane politics and the realisation that the 'American Dream' is just that a fantasy.
It is not an easy read, I had to keep putting it down as I was so angry and upset at the breaking down of a man who had already lost so much. It is important that the human consequences are told.
