2024 Dean’s Read: Outcasts United

 

This year’s Dean’s Read is Outcasts United by Warren St. John. Originally published in 2009, this book is a National Bestseller that tells the true story of Luma Mufleh and her youth soccer team, the Fugees.

“Outcasts United is the story of a refugee soccer team, a remarkable woman coach and a small southern town turned upside down by the process of refugee resettlement.
It’s a tale about resilience, the power of one person to make a difference and the daunting challenge of creating community in a place where people seem to have little in common.” (outcastsunited.com)
