By (author): Helen Benedict

Set in 2018 against the backdrop of an overcrowded, fetid refugee camp on the beautiful Greek island of Samos, The Good Deed follows the stories of four women living in the camp and an American tourist who comes to Samos to escape her own dark secret.

When the tourist does a good deed, she triggers a crisis that brings her and the refugee women into a conflict that escalates dramatically as each character struggles for what she needs.
