This feels like a core sample selection of refugee stories. Maybe that’s not quite right cause they are not all the same story. Similar yes but not the same. A couple of stand out things: Most refugees want what we want. Just here (whether that is USA or another non home country) and not under an authoritarian dictatorship or amid violence and oppression. And some words or questions I want to remember when I meet someone who has a different home country: Tell me about your home country. The place you came from. What will you miss. What do you wish I knew? I want to remeber they had a whole life before being forced or feeling compelled to leave for any number of reasons.

A couple of the essays talk explicitly about the atrocities of life. Since this is an essay collection a reader could skip those if needed.emtur007's review against another edition
