You’re a social worker assigned to help a combat veteran reintegrate into life in America and a “new normal” with family, friends and a job. Or your assignment is a family of refugees who fled war or persecution in their homeland, fled across a border and spent years in a refugee camp before coming to this exceedingly strange place called North Dakota.
