Where Is My Home?
Buy from
From the hills of Slovakia to the streets of the Czech Republic, this is a powerful true story of identity, resilience, and belonging. Born into a Roma family shaped by hardship and hope, Petr grows up surrounded by love, yet marked by a world that sees him as different.
Childhood innocence is shattered by prejudice and violence, forcing his family to make an unthinkable decision — to flee their home and seek asylum in England. With no language, no certainty, and everything left behind, he must rebuild his life from nothing.
But within struggle, a new purpose begins to emerge.
From a frightened boy to a voice for others, his journey becomes one of courage, dignity, and service — leading him back, years later, to stand in honour where he once stood in fear.
“Where is My Home” is a story of finding home beyond borders.
