Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exploration of how age affects the experience and life prospects of asylum-seekers in Germany. Heartbreaking images of children in distress have propelled some of the most urgent calls for action on immigration crises, and that compassion often affects how state asylum policies are structured. In Germany, for example, the immigration system is engineered to protect minors, which leads to unintended consequences for migrants. In Forever 17, Ulrike Bialas follows young African and Central Asian migrants in Germany as they navigate that system. Without official paperwork or even, in many cases, knowledge of their exact age, migrants must decide how to present their complicated life stories to government officials. They quickly realize that their age can have an outsized effect on the outcome of their cases. A migrant under 18, for example, can’t be deported, but might instead be placed in a youth home, where they will be subject to strict curfew laws. An 18-year-old adult, on the other hand, can get permission to work, but not opportunities to go to school. Regardless of their age—actual or assumed—migrants face great difficulties. Those classified as minors must live with the psychological burden of being treated like children, while those classified as adults must live without the practical support and legal protections reserved for minors. The significance of age stands in stark contrast to the ambiguities inherent in its determination. Though Germany’s infamous bureaucracy is designed to issue clear statements about refugees and migrants, the truth is often more complicated, and officials are forced to grapple with the difficult implications of their decisions. Ultimately, Bialas shows, policies surrounding asylum seekers fall dramatically short of their humanitarian ideals. Even those policies designed to help the most vulnerable can lead to outcomes that drastically limit the possibilities for migrants in real need of protection and keep them from leading fulfilling lives.

Book excerpt: At age twenty-three, I had high hopes of completing my collegiate studies, getting married, having children, and living in a middle-class subdivision. I could see myself getting married to a tall, handsome, educated man who felt like he could never give me too much... I was young, optimistic, and determined not to let anything stand in my way. I was armed with an associate's degree and had plans to attend Georgia State University. Yet, I was feeling abnormal... After weeks of a continual feeling of gloom, I sought a second opinion. After a blood test, Dr. Yu informed me that I was pregnant. Latangela (Tangi) Coleman-Crossfield gave birth to a beautiful baby girl and named her Bianca. Overwhelmed with the demands of motherhood and suffering from a serious bout of postpartum depression, she made the tough decision to ask her parents to raise Bianca. Forever Seventeen chronicles their mother-daughter relationship and the struggles they endured as Bianca moved back and forth between her grandparents' and her mother's homes. Tangi remained actively involved in her daughter's life and began to build a life for herself. She met and married a man named Albert, she received her bachelor's, master's, and doctorate degrees, and she pursued a career. And whether they were living far apart or together, she and Bianca maintained a strong relationship. On March 11, 2006, three months before her graduation from high school, Bianca's life was cut short by a tragic accident. Faced with overwhelming grief, Tangi found a way to honor the beautiful legacy of her only child Bianca, who will be Forever Seventeen.

Cole Connor has become a patient teacher, and now he has invited three struggling teenagers to visit him on his front porch to learn about Rex Connor—and the Seventeen Second Miracle.

A seventeen second miracle can change a life—if you let it.
