Book
Beauty of a new land / by Michiko Sakamoto-Senge.
"What is it like to immigrate to a new country? To adapt to new customes but honour the customs of the home you left behind? What is raising children like in a new land? Will children value their parents' old customs as they grow up? Lina de Guevara, Hanny Pannekoek, Hemi Gunasinghe, and Comfort Ero can answer these questions. They all came to Canada as adults, and they have shared their amazing stories with another immigrant woman, Michiko Sakamoto-Senge. Beauty of a New Land bears witness to the vital self-confidence and the sensitive awareness of five women who have made meaningful and happy lives for themselves in Canada while working to forge a just society for others." - from the back cover.
