Summary

Hands up! Who wants to be a refugee?

I certainly did not!

My mother had other ideas.

For a fateful moment, the iron fist of oppression eased its grip. This was all she needed. We crossed two borders. The physical barrier was easy. The culture gap was harder to bridge.

This story is about human foolishness, selfishness, and frailty. Yet, above all, the enduring courage of ordinary people caught up in extraordinary times.

Profile Image for Mark Leach

A very personal history.

I listened to this book on audible and was drawn into the very personal story by both the author and narrator. I was originally pointed to the book by a friend of the author (Mr B. C.), this book gives real details of a young boy who saw truly traumatic things and experienced things no young person should. What happened next Mr Decsy?
