When you're a refugee, no matter who you are, nobody asks, 'How are you?' This book asks refugees from Bosnia-Herzegovina and Croatia this simple question. Here, refugees tell their own stories about their lives as refugees in their own voices, through stories, essays, poems, and letters.

How do you feel?
