Reviews
Anyone forced to flee repression in their home country-anyone forced to leave everything behind-dies a little. When I was a child, my family and I had to gather all of our strength and what little we had to escape to Canada. We relied on the understanding and generosity of those who welcomed us. This book portrays those hardships and shows how the slightest kind gesture or compassionate word can make an enormous difference. - The Rt. Honourable Michaelle Jean, UNESCO Special Envoy for Haiti
