"Beyond the Golden Door by Ali Master is a fascinating study of the American dream, God’s great redemption, and the beauty of freedom. In it you will experience the immigrant’s journey, a love story inaugurated by fast food, and the ache of longing for a parent’s approval. This is an encouraging and interesting read. Mary DeMuth, Author of Thin Places: a Memoir
"The timing could not have been better for this message to get out. Ali Master’s Beyond the Golden Door is a refreshing splash of honesty, humor, and gratitude for the American way of life. You and I have likely never viewed the USA through the lens inside these pages. Scott Lane, former chairman of the board Bill Glass Behind the Walls
