According to an African proverb, a person who sees something good must tell the story. I have seen something good, and friends who know of my experiences with refugees have prodded me for a while now to write a book

For years I have dismissed the idea, but
the truth is that I am a happy person living what I feel is a fascinating life. Perhaps that’s rare enough in our troubled world to justify this account of the source of my joy, found in the ordinariness of welcoming the strangers in our midst.
