Review:
PRAISE FOR THE MIDDLE OF EVERYWHERE

"Pipher enters the hearts and homes of refugees who now live virtually from coast to coast, chronicling their struggles. . . . Her work is a plea for others to join her in a campaign of understanding."--USA Today

"Pipher unites refugees, people who have fled some of the most oppressive regimes in the world, with all of us. . . . [She] is taking this moment to teach us un-American behaviors: Patience, manners, and tolerance."--Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
From the Back Cover:
Pipher unites refugees, people who have
fled some of the most oppressive regimes in the
world, with all of us. . . . Pipher is taking
this moment to teach us un-American behaviors:
Patience, manners, and tolerance.
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
Over the past decade, Mary Pipher has been our source of wisdom,
helping us to better understand our children, our elders, and
ourselves. Now she gives us the tools to connect with the newest
members of the American family-refugees.
Orphans from southern Sudan, survivors from Kosovo, families fleeing
Afghanistan and Vietnam: they arrive here daily with nothing but
the desire to experience the American dream. Their endurance in the face
of tragedy and their ability to hold on to the essential virtues of family,
love, and joy are a tonic for all Americans.
The Middle of Everywhere moves beyond the headlines to help us
understand the struggles of the refugees who live around the corner or
down the street from us. Working in schools, social service agencies, and
homes as a cultural broker, teacher, and therapist, Mary Pipher has
opened our eyes-and our hearts-to those with whom we share the future.
Mary Pipher, Ph.D., is the author of three bestselling
books, including Reviving Ophelia, a New York Times
bestseller for more than two years. She has received an
American Psychological Association presidential citation
and lives in Lincoln, Nebraska.
