Overview

"A dramatic image of people forced to leave their country has become all too common in our TV. It could be the result of war, persecution, famine, and ethic violence. The refugees leave with almost no assets to sustain them in the host country. International community may be of help to some, but the vast majority are left to their own devices. In this book, three stories of people who became refuges under different conditions are included. In ""Honor Killing: Familial Terrorism,"" the story is about a father who was persecuted by a dictatorial regime. Imprisoned and released with severe warning, he had to leave his country with his family in tow. The family succeeded in their adopted country only to face horrendous crime by their misguided son. The second story, ""Wailing Voices,"" is about the deportation of an Eritrean family when the war broke out between Ethiopia and Eritrea. In their native country, they faced a host of challenges that impacted their lives. The third story, ""Goatherd in Exile,"" is about a young man--who was born and raised in a remote village with no access to the benefit of technology--had crossed a border to Sudan with fleeing rebels and built a successful business because of an indomitable fortitude."
