Nine-year-old Sofia Ruiz has just one Christmas wish—a horse of her own. But without winter boots or fuel to heat her run-down trailer, she would settle for just being warm. With Christmas only days away, Mom arranges for Sofia to spend two weeks alone with her grandmother, a stranger she hasn't seen in six years. A painful rift separates Mom from Gramma Lisa, but neither will talk about what happened. Sofia's dread turns into delight when she discovers Gramma Lisa owns a Morgan horse named Delilah. Sofia learns about caring for Delilah and eagerly volunteers to do the chores, hoping Gramma Lisa will allow her to ride. As Sofia and Gramma Lisa pursue their shared passion for horses, Sofia feels increasingly conflicted. She wishes she and Mom could move in with her grandmother, but Mom's strained relationship with Gramma Lisa stands in the way. If they cannot forgive, will they force Sofia to choose between them?

Research on migration has often focused on push and pull factors; and on the mobilities which drive migration. What has often received less attention, and what this book recognises, is the importance of the creative activities which occur when strangers meet and settle for long periods of time in new places. Contributions consider case studies in Italy, Kyrgyzstan, France, Portugal and Australia, as well as taking a careful look at the Commonwealth City of Glasgow. They explore the making and use of literature (for adults and children) of art installations; translation processes in immigration law; education materials; and intercultural understanding. The research reveals the extent to which migration takes a place, and takes different forms, as life is made anew out of intercultural encounters which have a geographical specificity. This shift in focus allows a different lens to be placed on languages, intercultural communication and the activities of migration, and enables the settings themselves to come under scrutiny. This book was originally published as a special issue of Language and Intercultural Communication.
