Narrative inquiry is often represented by using fragments of field texts. Drawing on a 4-year study alongside refugee families from Syria, we show the importance of acknowledging the multiple and nested contexts within which field texts are situated. We illustrate how each moment is reflective of being in the midst-of social, institutional, and cultural narratives, formula stories, multiple relationships, domestic details, and silences. Attending to living in the midst allows us to contemplate perplexities amid a plurality of experiences that are embedded and understood as part of living within unfolding lives and relationships
