Reviews
“Jon Tattrie expertly weaves the extraordinary story of the Hadhad family’s journey from Syria to Canada with a portrayal of the Antigonish community that came together to support them. Peace by Chocolate is a timely tale of triumph, a story about the gift of community and the power of determination, and one family’s passion for chocolate. We need more heartwarming stories like this, especially today.” — Ayelet Tsabari, author of The Art of Leaving
“A beautiful story of adversity, loss, love, and hope. This captivating read shows us the power and potential of vision, drive, and community through the incredible journey of the Hadhad family — truly inspiring.” — Jana Sobey, Vice President, Merchandising, Sobeys Inc
“An important, compassionate book, which everyone should read. It will change how you think about Syrian refugees. Peace by Chocolate will open your heart and mind and move you to reach out to people in need. This is a book about never losing hope.” — Tima Kurdi, author of The Boy on the Beach
“I thought I knew about the Hadhad family’s journey, yet this book added depth and nuance to an already fascinating story. It encompasses the resilience of the Hadhads and the compassion and action of so many people — from the IRCC staff to the Antigonish community members who embraced the whole family.” — Marie Chapman, CEO, Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21
“Sad and sometimes harrowing, it is testament to the strength a loving family possesses, giving its members the endurance to overcome seemingly impossible odds.” — Kate Barlow, Oakville News
