The last thing Jared wants is a family of refugees living in his house, but his do-gooder mother has made up her mind to host a family from Africa. When the family arrives, they are not what anyone expects: the father has had his hands amputated, and the daughter is so traumatized by her experiences that she can't speak. Jared senses something else suspicious-these people do not seem to know each other very well. He has no idea that both their family and his are in terrible danger. Winner of the 2008 Christopher Award. Library edition with trade jacket added.
