"A collection of 15 stories of individuals and families that have come to make Nova Scotia their home. We've all watched television and have seen the shocking and moving images of refugees fleeing civil war, living in desperate refugee camps. Have you ever wondered how they came to be there, and where they ended up? Did you know that thousands of these individuals now call Nova Scotia home? They may be your neighbours, colleagues, your child's teacher, or the firefighter who responds to your 911 call. ISIS is proud and honoured to introduce you to a few of these amazing people. This collection of stories showcases their resilience and efforts to build a new life for themselves and their families. These are stories of loss, struggle and hardship faced on the journey to Nova Scotia, and during settlement. Despite their experiences, these incredible individuals found the courage to move on and build a new life; they are giving back to their new community and enriching all of our lives"--Immigrant Settlement & Integration Services website.
