Arriving in a strange city with limited English, waiting for the yellow school bus that reminds you of a lion's mouth on your first day of school, remembering those left behind, the burning villages, the wide rivers and endless deserts - these are the settings and situations where the Blue-Eyed Tiger, an imaginary creature, operates. A young Burmese woman, an American English as a Second Language recent;y widowed teacher, these are the characters that the Blue-Eyed Tiger helps. The Blue-Eyed Tiger: Stories of Refugees in America is a collection of short stories detailing the trauma and tragedy faced by refugees resettling in the US today after fleeing civil war and destruction. In this slim volume, Louise Bingham Bennett, MD, a poet and retired physician, takes up the cause of these people. Inspired by her 25 years as a family physician in Rochester, NY working with displaced African Americans and refugees, she weaves tales of their despair, strength, and resilience. Her photos of Africa and Asia add veracity to her words. A timely read for Americans of all ages concerned about the current crisis facing immigrants and refugees arriving in the US.. A valuable resource for students and teachers in courses on refugees, immigration policy, and people from other cultures....An inspiring and compelling read for all.
