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

Manufacturing Flaw
Color: White, Size: 5FT (2 USB-C), Color: White, Size: 5FT (2 USB-C)
I removed 1 star because there is a manufacturing issue and bad packaging. This product is actually great. It's exactly what I needed. There's plenty of outlets and a good amount of USB and USB-C ports to charge additional devices without using any charging block. There's a small switch to turn off/on the entire outlet. What I love the most about this product is the rotating 360° plug. It saved me so much time and effort to organize my outlets/plugs. Its a very unique design and definitely something different on the market.
Now, here's the flaw. The flat cord are twisted and does NOT sit flushed against the walls. Once you plug it in, and line up the cords, the outlets face the walls instead of outwards towards you. It doesn't make sense. You can't install the outlet to the wall because it will never lay flat like they claim. You cant have it sit on the floor or table without it flipping over on its side because of the twisted cord. And also, the packaging wasnt so great either. I would assume a great product would come with great packaging. It should look and feel more of high quality like the product it self. Overall, its a minor flaws and doesn't change its functionality. The purpose was the 360° plug, the extended 5ft cord, and the extra USB-C outlets, so I will keep it. Besides its actually affordable and pretty much durable compared to others.

Good extension cord
Color: White, Size: 10FT (2 USB-C)
I have an upside down plug halfway up my wall that was really difficult to use and this is really been a game changer. It's flat against my wall so I'm not going to hit the cord and it it's long enough to put it in a more usable spot in the spare bedroom. The USB ports come in handy so I can keep the outlets free for my TV, lamps etc.

Nice oak corner shelf but check your measurements first
5 stars for the shelf, 3 stars for myself :-)
This is a well-made oak corner shelf that looks great where I put it. The wood is nice quality and the construction is solid.
Before you order though, do yourself a favor and check two things: 1) Make sure the size is actually big enough for what you need, and 2) Check that your corner is actually a true 90-degree angle. Turns out mine isn't perfectly square and now I'm trying to figure out how to position this thing properly.
Good product overall, just wish I'd measured more carefully before ordering.
