Understanding. As individuals, we go thru live feeling ill about actions taken against us, when in reality, the effects are diminutive in the face of reality. Being a migrant, risking their lives in the hopes of finding peace and security, boarding a train that is most likely a guarantee of a quick death are examples of courage. This is not courage for those who wish to cause harm by testing their luck at crossing the border, but rather an act of courage to those who do the impossible when faced with atrocious circumstances. This is the feeling this book creates for readers; a window of realism and encouragement to experience to a certain degree the struggles migrants have to endure with no guarantees of success.
