Inside Out and Back Again

This book is about a refugee girl from Saigon who must learn to cope with her new life in Alabama. Há has lost everything; her father, her papaya tree, her country. I immediatly felt sorry for her and wanted to help her. Inside Out and Back Again shows people who have not experienced war the pain and suffering it brings. It inspires people to make a change and help refugees. Most war books always end with something good happening, but not this one. In reality things do not always turn out well, and sometimes things don’t go to plan. That is what Inside Out and Back Again shows us, and that touch of reality is what I like about it. I recomend this book to people who are interested in books that open their minds to the problems in the world and make them want to make a difference. If you want something inspiring, than this is the book for you.

  1. Dearest Anaia, I loved your comment: “In reality things do not always turn out well” because that is such a mature acceptance of life as it is. It is also the first requisite for seeing life courageously and describing it boldly, whether the life inside or outside a person. There is a whole world inside us, which engages with life outside and together they create life as it is. I look forward to reading more of your reviews and writings. Much love, Nana
