Our House in Arusha Is Now Available at Amazon.com

Set against the backdrop of a colorful Third World city, Our House in Arusha is the immigrant's story in reverse: Three refugees, driven by separate catastrophes, leave behind the comforts of the developed world to seek shelter and stability in a chaotic city of mud huts, tin-roofed shanties, and decaying colonial mansions in northern Tanzania. No sooner are they settled into their new home, however, than they receive some startling news: bomb-making terrorists are operating right in their own neighborhood, a quiet enclave where the only reliable disturber of the peace is the landlord's rooster. In the year that follows, fragile loyalties will be tested again and again as each member of the family struggles to make a place for himself in a tantalizing and dangerous world.
