The help stable countries often offer to refugees, usually happens with many challenges. These refugees are usually in flight for their lives from their original countries. The challenges though broadly known, are either misunderstood, assumed or just inadvertently ignored. In this book, Edith Ngene Kambere brings to the fore these challenges as an experience she lived. In 1985, Edith Kambere's life as she knew it in Uganda, turned for the worse and nearly two years later, started her very treacherous escape to safety from Uganda. In this book, Edith Ngene Kambere, presents her unique yet heart wrenching narrative of experiences she and her family endured while fleeing for their lives. At numerous points in the book, Edith incorporates narratives of raw and unedited agonizing experiences, and encounters many African immigrant women faced during their own flight from war horror, political witch-hunt and many other acts of a dehumanizing nature. Unfortunately, to this day, many immigrants especially women from Africa continue to face similar experiences in their flight from life threatening circumstances. This book, a must read, provides rarely expressed feelings, excruciating experiences, the author like many other refugees, personally endured together with her family, a five year, two continents and three countries' ordeal of escape into Vancouver Canada where quite frankly, they miraculously reside today. This is a riveting point by point, incident by incident story; experienced and lived by Edith Kambere of a gruelingly and unpredictably risky, scary, and at times dangerous run for their lives. Even after getting to safety in Canada, Edith, narrates the frequently overwhelming and challenging encounters they, just as many other refugees experienced. This book offers first hand insights Edith and her entire family had to endure, which are life changing and provide practical learning and teaching moments of usually untold nor shared wealth
