Container City: How We Carry Each Other

The map is gone. All they have left is the thread.

Trapped in a refugee camp on the Turkish border, Amira Vaziri is holding her family together by sheer will. Her father is dying, her brother is being seduced by local gangs, and her cousin has returned from the war with a darkness that threatens to consume them all.

Her only solace is Hakim, the fallen Sheikh who has given up everything to be her husband. But their love is besieged by poverty, lack of privacy, and the rigid traditions of the camp Elders. Hakim, desperate to prove his worth without his family fortune, descends into the camp's dangerous black market, while Amira weaves frantically to keep food on the table.

When a lottery for visas opens a door to the West, Amira prays for a miracle. Instead, she gets an ultimatum. The plane has limited seats.

In this heart-wrenching sequel to The Weaver's Tale, Amira must learn that the hardest part of survival isn't escaping the war-it's saying goodbye to the ones you cannot save.
