Description
She followed every rule. The government broke them all.
When Ariana Wilkinson-a lawful U.S. resident and Afghan-born wife of an Air Force colonel-is
...
wrongfully detained by ICE during a religious festival in Westchester County, her disappearance sets off a desperate search that exposes the darkest corners of American immigration enforcement.
Returning home from deployment, Colonel Joseph Wilkinson finds his house empty and his wife and children missing. When he learns that Ariana has been taken into custody despite holding a Green Card, he turns to attorney Seth Bodner for help. Together, they fight to reunite the children with their father-but Ariana vanishes before her immigration hearing ever takes place.
Enter Dan Burnett, a seasoned private investigator with NYPD roots. As Dan and Seth track Ariana through a labyrinth of detention centers from New York to Florida, they uncover a covert federal program of deportation-erasing them from the system before anyone can intervene.
Meanwhile, Ariana must survive the terror and uncertainty of detention, clinging to faith, memory, and the love of her family. But as her captors move her closer to deportation, time is running out-and the truth threatens to ignite a national scandal.
Told from multiple perspectives, Tracking Ariana is a gripping legal and investigative thriller about one woman's fight for freedom and a family's battle against a corrupt system. Fans of John Grisham, Scott Turow, and Lisa Scottoline will be riveted by this story of courage, justice, and the power of love in a nation divided.
