"A Refugee's Journey", is the fictional auto-biography of a young refugee girl. She and her family escape from their country to a refugee camp. Eventually they are offered refuge in New Zealand. The story tells how the heroine comes to terms with living and studying (in a New Zealand High School) in a new and very different language and cultural environment. It deals with the struggles and difficulties her displaced parents encounter as they attempt to become independent in a foreign land where the qualifications of the father, formerly an eminent doctor, are not recognised.
