A journey to belonging

This memoir recounts the remarkable story of Alex, an unaccompanied minor from Ukraine, navigating life in Sweden after being displaced by war. Through the lens of Rahele Behzadi, a foster mother, the narrative captures Alex’s journey to find safety, connection, and a sense of belonging in a foreign land.

Alex’s story unfolds against a backdrop of resilience and adaptation, from his struggles with an initial foster placement to his eventual bond with Rahele and her family. The book vividly portrays Alex’s determination to overcome cultural barriers, his encounters with the complexities of the foster care system, and his ability to inspire those around him with his curiosity and intelligence.

Through poignant moments and heartfelt reflections, Rahele illustrates the emotional depth of fostering, the challenges of creating a home for children like Alex, and the profound impact these experiences have on everyone involved. The story underscores themes of resilience, identity, and the universal desire for love and acceptance.

In A Journey to Belonging, Alex’s experiences remind us of the strength of the human spirit and the enduring hope that lies in building connections across borders and differences.
