'Home Truths began as a project in lit therapy, an extension to trauma counseling. The result is a collection of stories, essays and poems written by a diverse group of refugee and migrant writers, mostly from Africa and Asia. The authors share first hand experiences of war and dislocation and of being at odds with one's own culture. Collectively, this book demonstrates the human desire to connect and build relationships is universal.' (Publication summary)
