內容簡介 The NewcomerA Story of Arrival, Resilience, and Quiet RevolutionBy Roland George When Kwame Boateng leaves Ghana with a suitcase full of borrowed dreams and his mother's whispered prayers, he steps into the rain-soaked streets of Vancouver with hope-and nothing else. A scholarship student, a poet at heart, and a newcomer in every sense, Kwame confronts the chill of Canadian life: the loneliness, the unfamiliar systems, and the silences that cut deeper than words. In lyrical vignettes and poignant moments, The Newcomer traces his journey through late-night dishwashing jobs, whispered poetry circles, missed calls across time zones, and the unspoken weight of being seen as both promise and burden. Alongside quiet friendships and fierce longings, Kwame learns not only how to survive, but how to belong-without losing himself in the process. A tender, immersive portrait of migration, identity, and the cost of building a life in a country that looks away, The Newcomer is a love letter to the resilient, the uprooted, and those still learning how to stay.
