5.0
Beautifully written memoir about Ousman Umar's strenuous journey from Ghana to Spain. Naturally, the topics in this are rough but his voice is surprisingly hopeful throughout all of it without disguising the foul reality. There's a lot to learn and to feel through reading this relatively short book and I'll absolutely treasure it for a long time.
Graphic: Racism, Death, and Violence
Moderate: Sexual assault, Child abuse, and Police brutality
