Although the book has an international flavor, it's really about a foster girl in the U.S. named Dawn. When her foster mother who works as a doctor goes to an International Red Cross camp near the border of Pakistan & Afghanistan, Dawn decides to run away from home in CA and go to NYC. She witnesses the attack on the World Trade Center and only then begins to deal with some of her emotional issues.

This novel is a conversation between two young people - one American and one Afghani - whose worlds are both broken and improved by circumstances surrounding September 11, 2001. It was a different kind of read for me - and I enjoyed it.

Any story about September 11 is bound to be heartbreaking. Refugees is a story about two teens on opposite sides of the world who are connected through the events leading up to 9/11. The story goes back and forth from Afghanistan to NYC and trails the lives of Johar and Dawn. Well-written and definitely worth the read.
The story means a lot to me because I was living in NYC at the time and my life changed forever after that tragic day.
