N2  - "The Wilde family leave Africa in search of a home in this fictional memoir set during a time of global prejudice and intolerance. Shedding light on the struggles migrants endure while rebuilding their lives. The story focuses on the family's isolation and challenges to adapt to a new culture. They grasp the significance of acceptance and see it as necessary to gain approval. In New Zealand, they become friends with the Ncube household from Zimbabwe, who share the difficulties of raising a child there. A strong bond forms between Rorke and his colleague Tāne Williams. They uncover a common history of colonisation and explore the impact of immigration on indigenous communities.Their boss, Fran White, and regional manager, Hugh Biggete, intimidate employees who dare question the status quo. Despite encountering bias and mockery, the Wildes' remain undeterred in their journey. They stay away from fellow immigrants who resist change and continue to be rooted in their past. With the world's highest number of flightless bird species, will this foreign country, Aotearoa, offer them a comparable refuge?"--Publisher's description
