A piercing look at women who are using food to reclaim their communites and families in worlds shattered by war.

Based on exclusive interviews with a dozen women displaced by modern war, journalist Tara Kangarlou shows how the simple act of meal preparation—often centered on ethnic foods redolent of memories of lost homelands—serves as a hopeful and active remedy against despair and isolation.

Moving from contextual histories of the role of food in dissident life to heartfelt, often intimate conversations with displaced women from Afghanistan to Syria, Kangarlou paints a hopeful picture of women whose courage and resilience are models for us all, whatever our lives look like.
