'The Companion Writing project came about to give life and voice to people's feelings and experiences. Don't blame refugees. Listen to them, understand them and help them. We are all part of this world, separated in many spaces and pieces. Companion House was the first contact in Australia for some of us. Everyone who is in this book has had very difficult times, and the writing has enabled us to express what we cannot say, that which has been deep inside us for a long time.' -- From the Introduction by the authors, p. 1.
