Publisher's summary

A powerful and moving story of one family's courageous journey.

After a perilous and terrifying escape from war-torn Afghanistan, Gulnessa and her family find themselves in Australia, a place they know nothing about. They are exhausted and traumatized, but so full of hope. But their struggle isn't over yet.

They are confined in a detention centre for asylum seekers, and forced to prove their refugee status. As days drag into weeks and months, Gulnessa is determined to stay strong. She cannot give up hope for a second chance at life, and the opportunity to build a future in a new land.

Critic reviews

"This sound recording of the remarkable text is an interesting way to encourage students to visualize the text, and indeed, walk in narrator Gulnessa's shoes. Kellie Jones is to be commended for keeping the quality of the narration at a high standard throughout all eleven discs. Walk in My Shoes is a rather long novel and this Bolinda audio version makes it more accessible to those who would not choose to read such a lengthy novel." ( Fiction Focus)
