In a land of strangers, a new family can be found.

On a freezing cold winter night, nine-year-old Konisola and her mother step off a plane in North America. Their home in Nigeria is no longer safe for them, and they are taking the biggest chance of their lives to travel across the world in search of refuge. Soon after they land, disaster strikes, Konisola’s mother falls ill and they become separated. Konisola is forced to fend for herself in a strange country, with no family and no friends. Then she meets a remarkable nurse and things begin to change for the better.

Will she be allowed to stay in Canada as a refugee, or will she be sent back across the ocean? This is a story of bravery and determination, of loss, and of generosity and good will that paved the way for a new family.

Inspired by a true story.
