Description
What is it like to leave your home, friends and family and start a new life in a foreign country? How does one survive war in Africa and make a new life in one of the smallest, coldest, whitest corners of the United States? Deep North tells the story of three Somali survivors--a camel herder, a farmer, a single mother of seven--and how after years of struggle, each eventually found a home in Vermont. Told in their own voices, by them and for their children, their stories are both heartbreaking and heroic and shed light on the unique opportunities and challenges Vermont presents to refugees and new Americans.
