I'm always intrigued by immigrant and refugee stories. Because my parents immigrated to escape a dictatorship in Portugal and make a better life for themselves, I have always been drawn to these stories. It's the reason I donate what I can to local refugees here in Houston and it's the reason I read and review these stories to spread awareness.
More often than not, refugees are good people who are escaping a terrible regime, a war-torn country, or impoverishment. They are not the criminals that "he who shall not be named" made them out to be. Many times, they are concerned parents trying to give their children a fighting chance in life. And so goes this heart-wrenching, hope-filled story of twin sisters Argita and Detina Zalli. Their writing made it so easy to step into their struggle. It was a first-hand account of the horror that so many go through to merely feel safe and accepted.
Thank you for sharing your story, ladies🙏🏼. What an important account to share.
Many thanks to Kaye Publicity and Sandra Jonas Publishing for sharing this incredibly relevant memoir!
