An inspiring and eye-opening account. It was very real, personal, harrowing and hard to read at times. I'm honestly having some trouble getting through it for personal reasons but I think this a very important book so I'm leaving this review now and will continue to make my way through it. 2020 is a strange time to read something like this, it certainly puts things in perspective.

Five inspiring stories of refugees escaping war, political or ethnic persecution in their homelands and successfully settling in America. It’s much more interesting to learn about immigration experiences when the details are about specific people. This book should be in classrooms. Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing. A collection of moving and compelling stories of five refugees, all of whom have now resettled in America's Heartland. Whether fleeing ethnic persecution, political persecution or war in their homelands, these five individuals have endured terror and hardships that many Americans can only imagine, and yet they and their families have survived and dared to imagine a new, safer life within our borders. Putting a face, a name and a story on refugee and immigrant experiences is important because it emphasizes that these are real people deserving of human empathy and compassion. An appendix also provides additional information for those wishing to learn more, volunteer or donate.I received this ARC via LibraryThing's Early Reviewers program. Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing. The personal stories of five refugees. They tell their own stories. I received an advanced readers copy which has black and white pictures. Per the notes the final copy will have colored pictures and maps. This would be a great book to have teens to read to understand what is happening around the world. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

In Search of Safety highlightss with brutal clarity the difference between leaving one's home country by choice and leaving by dire necessity. This is a book for mature teens, young adults, and adults. The stories of the women, in particular, are difficult to hear.
