Compelling. Anyone who wants to understand the people we label 'refugees' must read this book." - Jan Reeves, director, Idaho Office for Refugees

"Magnificent. The stories inspire equal parts joy and heartbreak. They are essential reading, and are now as much a part of Idaho's history as any other chronicle." - George Prentice, news editor, the Boise Weekly
