Omaha, NE, February 20, 2024 — Timothy Leacock has completed his new book, “Refugee on the Threshold: A True Story”: a gripping story of one man’s desperate attempts to flee his homeland, only to find himself imprisoned while attempting to seek asylum in another country and facing deportation that would mean certain death for him.

“Suppose you had the power to alter the fate of a man in danger?” writes Leacock. “Would you do it? Would you be willing to devote the time to get to know him? Allow yourself to be moved by his story and recognize the possibilities?

“This is the true story of Ahmed, a Somali refugee who received a death threat in his homeland, departed on a perilous journey, requested asylum, and received jailed detention. ‘Refugee on the Threshold’ chronicles Ahmed’s courage and determination as he encounters roadblocks in the immigration courts and the friendships that changed the course of his life.”

Thought-provoking and character-driven, Leacock weaves a compelling page turner that is sure to leave readers on the edge of their seats, remaining with them long after its poignant conclusion.
