Yes. Just yes. Read this if you want to see a world within a world, which is often ignored.
Beautifully illustrated and symbolic of how we all need to work together to help one another survive.

A powerful example of the potential of comics on so many levels - informing the general population, providing folks with a unique form of mental health support (those telling the stories and others like them reading it), informing those that work with this unique population (as bosses, co-workers, medical professionals). Everyone should read it, but those that live in Vermont especially must. Absolutely mind boggling to think about what some folks go through just to come here and work their butts off. Some people like it here, some don't. I truly hope those in power in the state have read this and consider ways they can help make these migrant workers lives more supportive.

I really enjoyed that all of the stories are told by the actual people. it's definitely not a typical style of writing, each of their stories could be their own book, and it would have been nice to see some longer stories with the people in the stories more fleshed out. but that's not the job of this book. I really did like how there were many viewpoints told.
