Summary: Journey to Home presents a rich tapestry of diverse immigration experiences –from the very young to the mature, from desperate flights from danger or economic hardship to marriage-based migration or professional moves– and traces Canadian stories coming from many continents and walks of life to one ultimate destination. We often hear that Canada is “a nation of immigrants”, but we rarely get to know who these people are and what they had to endure. Azhar Laher and David Grason have documented original stories from immigrants and refugees who have made Canada their home and have asked first-generation Canadians, from all over the world to let us help them tell their stories. These are individuals who gave up everything for a chance at a better life. We asked them questions. How did they get here? Do they have regrets? Is living in Canada everything they expected? The results are fascinating. This book contains tales of hope, despair, heartbreak, and triumph. They are all unique and extremely personal, but they all had one goal in common…to make Canada their home. - Amazon
