“"Sanna provides an empathetic exploration of the adjustment to a new land that all migrants experience."-- New York Times Book Review "Authentic and immediate, the first-person narration draws in readers and reveals just how easily fear can become overwhelming and isolating, but can also be controlled when feelings are shared and through comfort found in friendship. ”
