“This is an excellent and important book that makes a significant contribution to the studies of migration, refugees, resettlement, and the creativity of people facing forced migration.” • Amy Shuman, The Ohio State University “This is a rare and vital contribution to the field —one that bridges scholarship, creative nonfiction, and advocacy. I am so impressed, inspired, and deeply supportive of this work. It is a much-needed addition to the growing literature on art, trauma, and forced migration.” • Fadi Skeiker, Fordham University “Thank you for the care you put into the book and for including my story alongside those of so many remarkable young people working hard to create positive change in their own lives, their families, and the communities they live in and come from.” • Gabriel Ndayishimiye
