Purchase options and add-ons

When refugees arrive on your soil, do not close your door on them.

Listen to them. EACH ONE HAS A STORY TO TELL.

No one wants to leave their home... or loved ones... unless they must.

Living in your homeland is the most valuable blessing a human being can have. No one should have this blessing taken from them. Asmeen shares her deep love for her home and county. As a young woman, she is forced to leave to be safe and to stay alive.

Walk with Asmeen as she shares her harrowing escape. The journey is filled with difficulties, loss, happiness, and finally hope as she searches for safety… and a new place to call home.


★ ABOUT THE AUTHOR ★

Asmeen Hamkar was born in Afghanistan, where she studied civil engineering in Kabul Polytechnic University until forced to flee her war-torn homeland. Her message to the world governments, leaders, and legislatures is that they can turn this planet into a safe home where no one will have to leave their home and seek refuge in a neighbor’s house again.

She currently lives in Arizona (her new forever home). She works at the State’s Refugee Resettlement Program and assists refugees in their path to self-sufficiency and successful resettlement. This is her first book. Asmeen looks forward to writing more books about Afghanistan and her life there.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very realistic first person story of an Afghan woman forced to flee to the United States.

Our church as part of a diverse group of faith communities is trying to assist afghan refugees escaping to America after the recent collapse of the government. Reading this book has given me a much better understanding of this situation from the perspective of the refugee and hopefully enabled me to be a better participant in this courageous process.

I read this book in one sitting. I couldn't put it down. At times the writing is like poetry. I learned a lot about refugees from this first-hand account. Feeling safe but alone is a haunting concept. I look forward to reading more by this author.

Asmeen’s story is so captivating. A great read. So accessible that my 8 yr old read it right after I did and loved it so much that she wants to change the world.
