About the Book

A Reason to Live explores the experiences of refugees/asylum seekers who through various means have entered Australia to begin new lives. The book looks at the challenges each individual faces, their personal relationships and the politics, tragedy and loss behind each of their journeys. A Reason to Live puts a human face on the political toy that our humanitarian programs and obligations have become. These stories take place all over the world, and feature characters from a wide varied of experiences and backgrounds. Anyone who is interested in politics, social work, psychology, Islamic/Christian relationships, social justice, the Middle East, Africa or travel will love this book. This book is fictional, but based on true events, so has an educational benefit, and could be used in the classroom, and in the workplace for cross-cultural education programs. Community workers, educators, former refugees and men and women aged 16-100 will enjoy this book. Short stories allow the reader to explore briefly another world. A Reason to Live will appeal to readers who are interested in the above listed issues/topics, but who are unable to dedicate the time needed to consume an entire novel.
About the Author: About me: My name is Josie Young, I am a writer, a community worker, an activist and a lover of all things chocolate and coffee related. More importantly however I am a mother, I have a son named Mandela. As a mother I want to make sure that everything I do - the words I write, the food I cook, the causes I support - make my son's future brighter. In 2012, I decided I would write this book as another way through which I can fight for the future that my son deserves. One day, in the future, my five year old son Mandela will look at the world and ask me, "Mama, how could you have stood by and done nothing in the face of such injustices?" When that day comes, I hope I will be able to answer him.
