A Road Beyond the River is a gentle, heartfelt story about four sisters who must leave their home and begin again in a new land.
Through Huda, Hanifa, Fatima, and Aisha’s eyes, young readers experience the courage it takes to cross borders, learn new languages, miss loved ones, and hold onto family when everything feels uncertain. As the girls face loss, change, and unfamiliar surroundings, they discover that kindness, faith, and love can light the way forward.
Written for elementary-age readers, A Road Beyond the River offers a compassionate introduction to the refugee experience, reminding children that even when the road is hard, hope can still be found, step by step, and together.
