I really enjoyed this book a lot. It gave me a lot of insight into what life is like for refugees coming to the U.S. and the struggles the endure. My only complaint is perhaps the author should have organized the book a bit better instead of jumping around talking about events out of sequence a bit, but it's a good quick read.
