"""Throughout this compassionate book, the author demonstrates the resilience of refugees, who carry with them their precious languages, cultures, and memories. Memorable personal stories that give much-needed depth and humanity to what are otherwise merely numbers."" --Kirkus Reviews ""Stephanie Saldaña long ago proved herself a poetic and perceptive essayist.

A profound journey of listening, of honest witness."" --Sandy Tolan, author of the international bestseller The Lemon Tree: An Arab, a Jew, and the Heart of the Middle East ""Saldaña's gorgeous new book reminds us of the breathtaking individuality of the men, women, and children seeking refuge around the world."" --James Martin, SJ, bestselling author of Jesus: a Pilgrimage"
