After the Last Border: Two Families and the Story of Refuge in America by Jessica Goudeau

4.0

I wouldn't have picked up this book on my own, but am glad that it was selected for an up-coming book club. Goudeau explores the history of refuge in America while focusing on the story of two women who have navigated this complex process. At times I had to remind myself that this was a work of non-fiction- the struggles of both women are profound. I liked how the story wove together personal narrative with policy as it made the story accessible as I could connect with Mu Naw and Hasna.
