Anne Mahon faithfully captures refugees' voices with raw authenticity, imprinting their lives onto our collective memory. Their stories of love, loss, war, and grace capture the dogged human drive to metabolize pain into power for good. --Lisa Shannon, author of A Thousand Sisters and founder of Run for Congolese Women Select praise for The Lucky Ones: WINNER - On The Same Page Manitoba selection, 2013-14: The book's shocking first-hand accounts of survival will cause readers to bristle the next time they hear someone cast refugees as 'fraudsters' or 'just someone here to take our jobs.' And reading about parents who were forced to run for the border without their children - let alone their passports - will cause people to question the government's dismissive terminology of bogus and illegal refugees. --The Catalyst, Citizens for Public Justice Publication
