Refugee

Gain three perspectives of refugees from three different time eras.  Starting with Jews in 1939, then Cubans in 1994 and finally Syrians in 2015.  Read to understand, to gain compassion, to gain knowledge of our world's history of governmental power that degrades and devalues their own.  Thrown off like this week's garbage are the lives of people in so many nations across time.

Realistic fiction more than just a kid wanting to win a food eating contest.  More about family and friendship and taking care of one another.   More than just a kid that made a mistake spending $2,000 on his mom's credit card.  Awareness of family dynamics with a kid in college that is "perfect" and a younger sibling with autism and being the middle kid.
