Émilie de Turckheim's lively, moving, radiant account of hosting young Afghan Reza with her family and welcoming him into their lives.

For nine months, Émilie, Fabrice and their two children host Reza, a young Afghan who fled his war-torn homeland at the age of twelve, in their Parisian home. Despite the language barrier and the painful memories, the young man’s extraordinarily difficult odyssey becomes clear to them: how he risked his life to make it to Europe, losing all trace of his family, and travelled thousands of miles hanging onto the axle of a truck. An inspiring and moving story of the wonderful adventure of getting to know someone new, and along the way, rediscovering what you've lost: hope and a shared human bond.
