Manda Aufochs Gillespie is a writer, author, and radio/podcast producer. She lives with her family in B.C.–– a ferry too far from anywhere for most people.
For a long time after I came to Canada, I thought I would never feel at home again. I thought, “this must be what it means to be an immigrant — to never feel at home.”
"I had lived in places where we were the poor, mixed and broken family, and in places where we were the rich ones who leave their shoes outside to be stolen. All these moves taught me a secret not everybody learns."
