Three Suitcases and a Three-Year-Old [Paperback]

A three-year-old girl, three suitcases, and a one-way ticket to a new country — this is where survival becomes a family story. Written with unflinching honesty, this memoir traces a journey shaped by displacement, resilience, and the quiet weight of starting over. It's about what you carry when you can't take everything, and what gets left behind when home becomes a memory. The author navigates childhood through the lens of immigration, capturing both the confusion of being uprooted and the stubborn hope that keeps a family moving forward. Intimate, raw, and deeply human, this is a book about identity forged in transit — about learning to belong when belonging was never guaranteed. For readers drawn to personal histories, migration narratives, or anyone who knows what it means to rebuild from scratch.
