Somewhere

Somewhere is an inspiring collection of stories about migration. Written from 20 women's perspectives, it brings a refreshing and uniting voice to this compelling and trending topic. The implications of migration, especially for women, are often unknown, unheard and unspoken. With a foreword by the Rt. Hon. Helen Clark.

More people are likely migrating now than at any other time in history, and this is set to increase as climate change and political unrest push even more people to relocate. From the fleeing refugee to the political and economic migrant, a broad range of migration by people of many cultures, ethnicities, and beliefs is shared in this book.

Identity, belonging, assimilation, and alienation are some of the key topics in this sometimes sad but also joyful book. Treasures of wisdom and heartfelt honesty are found in the stories.

The book will give the reader hope, encouragement, or insight into a globally relevant subject on a personal level rather than through distant, abstract news stories.

Somewhere encourages open-mindedness and is filled with stories that will likely have a strong impact on the reader.
