In Search of Life chronicles the harrowing journeys of multiple refugee seekers fleeing their homelands, risking everything in pursuit of peace, opportunity, and a place to call home. Ali and Abdul Rahim endure nerve-wracking trials, illegally crossing borders and navigating countless dangers seeking sanctuary in Europe. Through hard work and resilience, they eventually find themselves back in the Middle East, reconnecting with memories and loved ones once lost. While this narrative springs from the writer’s imagination, it echoes the stories of over 27 million refugees worldwide, dreaming big in the face of unbelievable adversity. More than a portrayal of distress and pity, this is a tale of strength, perseverance, and the enduring power of hope. No matter the difficulties endured, the longing for safety and human dignity rings clear.

This book is a study of American Muslims' perspectives on Muslims who become radicalized and choose to support the Islamic State. Muslim radicalization is a global phenomenon that has affected American Muslims as it has Muslims throughout the world. In 2015, approximately 250 Americans joined the Islamic State (IS), and some still sympathize with it. Based on 51 in-depth interviews conducted in nine states from 2017 to 2021, this book offers a thematic understanding of radicalization, touching on themes such as Islamic history, Muslims' social and political identities, cultural dilemmas, radicalization outlets, mental health, media stereotypes, Islamophobia, security, and the impact of COVID-19 on radicalization. This book differs from previous scholarship on the causes of radicalization by focusing on the perspectives of non-radicalized American Muslims. While some previous scholarship has focused on Muslim radicalization in Europe, this book provides a new spectrum of views from the United States. It also offers pathways to de-radicalization. The interview data is complemented with relevant literature, analysis of media perspectives, and the author's personal observations.
