#TheBoatPeople by Sharon Bala picks up on an actual historical event that brought almost five hundred Sri Lankan refugees to British Columbia, Canada. The difficult but very real thing about this book is that it gives no answers and no absolutes. That is the reality of this very emotional situation. There are no easy answers, only a hope for peace and compassion and an appreciation for any meaningful effort to keep the conversation going.
