2001. Newark, NJ. Two teenagers, brought to America as children, now face an uneasy question: what are they willing to risk for a future together in the only country they've known? The simple joys of coming-of-age are challenged by the uncertainty of their next chapters. Pulitzer Prize-winner Martyna Majok brings light to the sacrifices made by immigrants, lovers and lifelong friends in the heart-stirring and hopeful Sanctuary City – a story that fractures time and transcends memory – crossing boundaries, borders and genres in search of a place to call home.
