The Right Way Skyler Anderson

Fredy lives with his American family in Utah where they are faithful members of an American-born religion. He runs his own American business, pays his American taxes, and employs several American citizens. He's living the American dream. But that dream quickly becomes a nightmare when he's pulled over for a simple misunderstanding after the authorities discover he's not actually an American citizen. Now, nearly thirty years after his parents brought him to the United States, Fredy is thrust into the foreign world of detention and immigration court. As the possibility of deportation becomes more and more likely, Fredy's only chance of being reunited with his wife and children now lies with Todd Becker, a rookie immigration lawyer who offers to help. Todd is forced into a baptism by fire, navigating the senseless complexities of immigration law while attempting to reconcile the conflicts between his faith, his political beliefs, and his family relationships in his small, conservative community without losing sight of the end goal of keeping Fredy's family together. The Right Way takes the reader deep into the labyrinth of modern U. S. immigration law, confronting the conflicting interests of politics, religion, the law, and human decency, showing that immigrating "the right way" is not as simple as waiting at the end of a line.
