The book

A Life Robbed

Faith’s first-person reflection on seeking asylum in the United Kingdom—and the human cost of a system experienced from the inside.

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.
