Edited by Pauline Frances

Created during a series of writing workshops, these vibrant stories provide an insight into the lives of young New Zealanders - individuals who came to New Zealand seeking security and freedom.

The Wellington Refugees as Survivors Trust (RAS) put together 10 workshops for participants from Sudan, Iraq, Somalia, Ethiopia and Afghanistan. Writers Dame Fiona Kidman and Dr Ingrid Horrocks also volunteered their expertise.

Some of the stories tell of life in the countries these young people come from including disastrous situations such as war, while others are personal memories of new friendships made in New Zealand.

Our library copy is even signed by some of the authors!
