Why this story matters
Policy becomes real in a person’s life.
The book reflects on Faith’s asylum experience and the questions it raises about welcome, integration, housing, detention, destitution and belonging.
It is not only a record of difficulty. It is also a testimony to voice, agency and the work of rebuilding a life while navigating institutions that hold enormous power.
