Refugees are a controversial topic of discussion in Canada today. All too often, they are treated as nameless statistics or caricatures in the occasional story that flares across the front pages of newspapers. In At The Border Called Hope, refugees have names and faces and they reveal a Canada that is better than we think and worse than we know. At the Border Called Hope tells the remarkable story of Mary Jo Leddy's fight for justice on behalf of those who cannot defend themselves.
