Found this little gem on my page-a-day book calendar. It focuses on the life of a young man in an unnamed middle eastern county who's village is attacked and destroyed by a group of American troops. He is relocated to the Ohio rust belt and begins to live a new life in America, while dealing with the effects of that attack. An American solider who saves his life after the attack and the soldiers mom also play a key roll. Great book. Reminded me of We Are Called to Rise. Four stars on Goodreads!
