Journey Without Return: A Palestinian American Story

Join us to celebrate Journey Without Return, an important new book from Oklahoma author Tom Lindley. Ahead of the signing at 6 p.m., there will be live music and complimentary Mediterranean finger food. This event is free and open to the public.

Journey Without Return tells the sweeping, true story of Tawfik and Siham Ramadan—two souls born into the sun-drenched hills near Jerusalem, whose lives are forever changed by the tides of history. In 1948, as the state of Israel is established, the Ramadans’ ancestral villages are torn apart, forcing natives into exile and igniting a journey across borders, decades, and dreams. From the chaos of war to the dreadful refugee camps, from Palestine to the USA and many countries in between, they carry with them not only the pain of losing their homeland but also the fierce light of love, dignity, and unshakable purpose.
