"Every refugee has a story to tell, but not every story will be heard. Tara Seger is changing that. Through her intense study of the unique relationships that have led to conflict in the Middle East, she has entered the minds of refugees to reveal the immense suffering and heartache of life in the war-torn societies of that region. She has given us not only a glimpse into the hardships of being a refugee but has written a tour-de-force that should be required reading in schools throughout the nation."

-Paul F. Caranci, Historian and Author of "Wired", " The Promise of Fatima", and several other titles

"'Refugee Realities' reveals dire situations that most of us cannot even fathom. The refugees in this book taught me to understand, and not judge, people from different backgrounds. Empathizing with the refugees in this book gave me a new appreciation for what I thought I was entitled to, such as a home and my citizenship."

-Brooklyn Castonguay, Scituate High School Student
