Review Quotes




"There is humor, tenderness, despair, outrage, and tenacity... This is a poignant and powerful collection of universal themes embedded with cultural specificity."--Booklist *starred review*

"Alsaid edits an extraordinary anthology featuring exquisite writing and offering a genuinely diverse collection on the richly layered topic of immigration. International in scope, the cross-section of voices is refreshingly diverse while also unified by emotional vulnerability.... [D]eeply relevant to our contemporary world. A must-have antidote to xenophobia and a much-needed, compassionate mirror for many."--Kirkus Reviews *starred review*

"[E]ach contribution provides a snapshot of the many meanings the word "home" can evoke, making for a thought-provoking read. Authors' notes interspersed throughout lend autobiographical richness to the memorable anthology." -Publishers Weekly, starred review
