The second novel by Derek Miller received a starred review in Publishers’ Weekly. The review calls it “a polished and powerful commentary on the effects of war on two men” and says “This is an excellent depiction of the complicated Iraq-Syria situation, especially the desperate plight of refugees and the West’s failure to provide peace or relief. Miller caps his stellar, electrifying story with a knockout ending.” Houghton Mifflin will publish the book on January 3, 2017....
