Immigrant Stories: In Search of Home and Belonging
These works share insight into the immigrant experience: the arduous journeys, the heart-breaking separation from culture and family, all in pursuit of a place that promises hope and safety but presents new, everyday challenges and threats. These authors help us bear witness not only to immigrants' resilience and fortitude, but also shed light on the danger imposed on those deemed unwelcome.

Dragon Age II
By Charlotte Reber
One of the Boss Fight Books that would've been way better with having pre-played the game. A little too focused on the plot analysis for my taste.
