Josef is a Jewish boy living in 1930s Nazi Germany, who boards a ship bound for the other side of the world. Isabel is a Cuban girl in 1994, who sets out on a raft, hoping to find safety in America... Mahmoud is a Syrian boy in 2015, who begins a long trek toward Europe...

All three kids will face unimaginable dangers–from drownings to bombings to betrayals. But there is always the hope of tomorrow. And although Josef, Isabel, and Mahmoud are separated by continents and decades, shocking connections will tie their stories together in the end.
