“An engaging, respectful, and realistic account of refugee resettlement in America… A must-seen in classes engaging refugeeism and resettlement as well as for communities interested in learning more about the realities and challenges of resettlement for newly arrived refugees.” – Dr. Diya Abdo, Associate Professor of English, Founder/Director, Every Campus A Refuge, Guilford College.

“Warm, personable… Hopeful, positive… offers constructive counterpoint that dilutes the strident nativist voices of those who would demonize refugees…” – The Utah Review.
