New Book Depicts One Man’s Encounter as an Illegal Immigrant

Posted on November 09, 2012 by Bobby Bernshausen | 0 Comments

Author Joel Savage explores the struggles of being an illegal immigrant in Europe in his new book, Overseas Chronicle: The Rome and Amsterdam Experience.

In his third memoir, Savage documents his travels from Rome to Amsterdam. Surviving encounters with the Mafia and sleeping in abandoned factories in Italy, Savage decided to move camp to Amsterdam, hoping for a better life. Instead, he realized the hard immigration policies and liberal abuse of drugs and alcohol had taken a toll on the immigrants in Amsterdam and he wanted no part of it. Hoping to obtain documentation to rid him of his immigrant status, Savage ended up in many difficult situations, one of which included being arrested and put behind bars.

In this passionately written book, the reader gains insight into the pain and agony of being an outsider stuck in a foreign country when all one wants is to be a part of it. Joel Savage’s novel is a must-read for those hungry for a cultural experience.

Savage was born in Ghana before becoming a citizen of Sierra Leone. His father influenced him at an early age to pursue journalism, and since then he has written for numerous newspapers in Ghana and Belgium. He currently lives in Belgium with his wife and three children. He freelances for newspapers, magazines, and television and is a member of the Flemish Journalism Association in Belgium.

Overseas Chronicle is available in softcover (ISBN 978-1-62137-127-4), and e-book (ISBN 978-1-62137-128-1) from Virtualbookworm.com, Amazon.com, and Barnesandnoble.com. This book can also be ordered from most bookstores around the United States, Australia and the United Kingdom. More information can be found at www.joelsavage.com.
