Why read it?
1 author picked Doro as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
My friend and hero search-and-rescue worker Brendan met Doro during a rescue mission in the Mediterranean Sea. He promised to help Doro share his story with the world, and together they wrote this book.
Brendan’s writing really touches me as someone who has had a similar experience and journey into working in refugee response, and this, along with Doro’s incredible story, makes for a very profound book.
From Jasmin's list on migration and displacement from first-hand perspectives.
