Five refugees recount their courageous journeys to America -- and the unimaginable struggles that led them to flee their homelands -- in a powerful work from the author of Beyond Magenta and We Are Here to Stay. "From 1984, when I was born, until July 16, 2017, when I arrived in the United States, I never lived in a place where there was no war." -- Fraidoon An Iraqi woman who survived capture by ISIS. A Sudanese teen growing up in civil war and famine. An Afghan interpreter for the U.S. Army living under threat of a fatwa. They are among the five refugees who share their stories in award-winning author and photographer Susan Kuklin's latest masterfully crafted narrative. The five, originally from Afghanistan, Myanmar, South Sudan, Iraq, and Burundi, give gripping first-person testimonies about what it is like to flee war, face violent threats, grow up in a refugee camp, be sold into slavery, and resettle in America. Illustrated with full-color photographs of the refugees' new lives in Nebraska, this work is essential reading for understanding the devastating impact of war and persecution -- and the power of resilience, optimism, and the will to survive. Included in the end matter are chapter notes, information on resettlement and U.S. citizenship, historical time lines of war and political strife in the refugees' countries of origin, resources for further reading, and an index.Binding Type: Hardcover

A great $30
Color: Grey, Color: Grey
The wood is cheap particle board (probably better bc they are very light weight) but the brackets are plenty strong and sturdy.
Advice on the install: your walls may not be exactly 90 degrees. Install one bracket after the other is holding the shelf up.
Super pretty.

Great shelves but be warned.
Color: Grey
These shelves are great for small items and can definitely hold up to their advertised weight if mounted in a stud. However, DO NOT use the longest screws at all. All the screws are low quality and are likely to break. The medium length ones are sufficient for everything. If your wall faces an exterior concrete wall: break off the tips on the dry wall anchors, they are too long.

These are a great corner option
Color: Rustic Wood
Was looking for something to set in some corners, and these fit the bill greatly. They are nice looking and easy to assemble and then put up. They hold a plant and some rock items nicely. A good purchase.

Would buy again and again
Color: Black, Size: 35.4 Inches
These are beautiful! I thought they’d be hard to install, but very straightforward and easy. They are quality and sturdy. I staggered the shelves and they hold a lot. Great value for the quality. I will be buying more for another room in the house.

Made my bathroom look beautiful
Color: White, Size: 15.7 Inches
The mounting and the color were excellent. I hung this in my bathroom and thought it was going to be a hard install for me. The hardware that came with this was very self explanatory. The fit was perfect and the quality was great. I would surely buy this item again in the future
