Turn Around

October 15, 2015

“We encounter opportunities to give every single day; what may seem like a small gesture to us may make a world of difference in someone else s life. Make your next step one that causes you to turn around and meet a need.”

All Else Failed: The Unlikely Volunteers at the Heart of the Migrant Aid Crisis

By Dana Sachs
Bellevue Literary Press
304 pages
$19.99

“In 2015, increasing numbers of refugees and migrants, most of them fleeing war-torn homelands, arrived by boat on the shores of Greece, setting off the greatest human displacement in Europe since WWII… All Else Failed is Dana Sachs’s compelling eyewitness account of the successes—and failures—of the volunteer relief network that emerged to meet the enormous need. Closely following the odysseys of seven individual men and women, and their families, it tells a story of despair and resilience, revealing the humanity within an immense humanitarian disaster.”
