I’m Jim McKeown , Welcome to Likely Stories, a weekly review of fiction, non-fiction, and poetry. I rarely bother with nonfiction, but Here We Are by Aarti Namdev Shahani is a well-written story of her family's move from Casablanca to Pakistan to the USA. The initial parts of the story detail the hardships the family had escaping from the terrors following the breakup between India and Pakistan.
