Sama and Hadi are a young Syrian couple in love, dreaming of their future in the country that brought them together. Sama came to Boston years before on a prestigious Harvard scholarship; Hadi landed there as a sponsored refugee from a bloody civil war. Now, they are giddily awaiting the birth of their son, a boy whose native language will be freedom and belonging. When Sama is five months pregnant, Hadi’s father dies suddenly, and Hadi decides to fly back to Jordan for the funeral. He leaves America, promising his wife he’ll be gone only for a few days. On the date of his return, Sama waits for him at the arrivals gate, but he doesn’t appear. As the minutes and then hours pass, she becomes increasingly alarmed, unaware that Hadi has been stopped by US Customs and Border Protection, detained for questioning, and deported.

Brief Summary No Land to Light On by Yara Zgheib

This book is very relevant to current issues, mainly immigration. I have been reading the Aspen Words longlist and this seems like the type of book that could make it on the longlist next year, since it fits the prize mission. In this story, we meet Sama and Hadi, a young married couple expecting a baby, in 2017. We also get to read flashbacks to their experiences first coming to the US. I liked how this book gives a several different experiences. Sama came to the United States for education, while Hadi came as a refugee. While they are both from Syria, their experiences there and as immigrants are both different.This book is a powerful and oftentimes sad read. It shows the realities that polices and laws can have on actual people (though fiction), which can sometimes get lost when discussing or thinking about policies.
