Everyone should read this book - fact! Anyone who thinks that refugees leave their homes, jobs, families etc out of choice, or make extremely dangerous illegal boarder crossing unnecessarily needs to read this book. The heart ache and loss these displaced people go through, not really fitting in anywhere, not having a place to call home… it is eye opening and humbling.
One of the exerts is from a lady called Jennifer who sums it up brilliantly when she said she didn’t realise how privileged she is until she supported a displaced family who couldn’t believe how much water their new home in the USA had and were fascinated watching popcorn in the microwave.
The only reason it’s 4 not 5 stars is that it only skims the surface, you could probably write a whole book each on the experiences of the girls and women who give us a small window into their displacement. I now can’t wait to read I Am Malala!
