This is a memoir laced with stimulus and plenty of heart at a time when the latter has grown elusive.” ― Star-Tribune (Minneapolis) Using energetic prose, Nayeri is an excellent conduit for these heart-rending stories, eschewing judgment and employing care in threading the stories in with her own. Her family’s escape from Isfahan to Oklahoma, which involved waiting in Dubai and Italy, is wildly fascinating. "Nayeri weaves her empowering personal story with those of the ‘feared swarms’. "Nayeri combines her own experience with those of refugees she meets as an adult, telling their stories with tenderness and reverence.” ― The New York Times Book Review
