SynopsisThe Finch family heads to the airport to welcome the four refugees from Africa their church is sponsoring--a mother, father, teenage son, and daughter. Soon, Jared Finch realizes that the good guys are not always innocent, and he must make a decision that could change the fate of both families, in this latest novel by bestsellling author Caroline B. Cooney., THE FINCH FAMILY did not know that five refugees landed from Africa on the day they went to the airport to welcome the family sponsored by their church. The Finch family only knew about the four refugees they were meeting - Andre, Celestine, Mattu, and Alake - mother, father, teenage son and daughter. Soon Jared realizes that the good guys are not always innocent, and he must make a decision that could change the fate of both families. This story presents many points of view and a fresh perspective on doing the right thing.
