Two teenagers on opposite sides of the globe flee everything they know. In a world turned upside down by tragedy, they are refugees.

Sixteen-year-old Dawn runs away from her unhappy foster home in California and travels to New York City. Johar, an Afghani teenager, sees his world crumble before him. He flees his war-ravaged village and the Taliban, and makes a dangerous trek to a refugee camp in Pakistan. Thanks to his knowledge of English, Johar finds a job at the camp assisting Louise, the Red Cross doctorand Dawns foster mother. Through e-mails and phone calls, Dawn and Johar begin to share and protect each others secrets, fears, and dreams, and a remarkable bond forms that gives each of them hope and the courage to find a path home.
