I wasn't exactly sure why I didn't want my eight-year-old son to go on the trip to Israel with his mom. I told myself it was because that part of the world just never seemed safe to me. But I reluctantly gave my permission and he left on a ten day trip. He never came back. It didn't take long to put together the pieces and realize that my ex-wife had abducted him. The emotional devastation came quickly. But just as quickly came a surprisingly calm resolve to bring my son home. My wife, Stephanie and I began to seek help from everyone we could think of - the local police, the FBI, the Department of State. We spent our savings on private detectives. But after almost three months we still had nothing. We had no idea where he was. That's when we decided to go to Israel. Thus began a journey built on faith and hope; a journey filled with unexpected discoveries; a journey filled with miracles.

The Thomas Ward is like a small stream in the mountains, that emerges from a tiny spring and trickles on down the hillside to join the creek on its way to the river. No attempt has been made to get all the information, about all the people who live, or have lived, within its boundaries. Neither is the material collected, considered to be the most important or free from errors. This book is just "a cup of water" dipped from the little stream, as it journeys on its way, no attempt is made to dip up all the water or stop its flow. It is hoped, that like the cup of cool water from the tiny stream, this book will refresh the reader, and the stream of time flows on. To those pioneers, both young and old who had the courage to combine all the natural resources which the creator so wisely stored in these mountains, rivers and valleys along with the brawn and brain that He gave man. The Miracle of the Desert came to be.

Since the arrival of the Puritans, various religious groups, including Quakers, Jews, Catholics, and Protestant sects, have migrated to the United States. The role of religion in motivating their migration and shaping their settlement experiences has been well documented. What has not been recorded is the contemporary story of how migrants from Mexico and Central America rely on religionÑtheir clergy, faith, cultural expressions, and everyday religious practicesÑto endure the undocumented journey. At a time when anti-immigrant feeling is rising among the American public and when immigration is often cast in economic or deviant terms, Migration Miracle humanizes the controversy by exploring the harsh realities of the migrantsÕ desperate journeys. Drawing on over 300 interviews with men, women, and children, Jacqueline Hagan focuses on an unexplored dimension of the migration undertakingÑthe role of religion and faith in surviving the journey. Each year hundreds of thousands of migrants risk their lives to cross the border into the United States, yet until now, few scholars have sought migrantsÕ own accounts of their experiences.
