Abstract
Using a unique case history of a highly qualified migrant family pushed from its country of origin due to war, I elucidate the emotional, cultural, societal and situation-specific challenges that its members faced in their new country of destination. I then link their stories to the current literature in the field of migration studies and formulate several avenues for future research. By allowing narrative theory to guide the field, I make a contribution to the current discourse and formulate questions that truly matter.
