Everyone Who Is Gone Is Here by Jonathan Blitzer

Choosing a different life while leaving everything behind is not an easy decision but it comes with extreme situations caused by various reasons.

This book focuses on the story of the migrants from the central america but this can be easily replaced by other names, cities, and languages, and the narrative will remain same. People do look for a different life which is expected to be better which is why these migrant stories are important. While these people are looking for a better life others are looking for a narrative. Migration is not because of the narrative, it is because of the migration different narratives come up.

The book is well researched, and goes deep into painting a wider picture. Of all the things peace was the most important thing that featured above all of what people were looking for. But maybe that was not so easy to come.
