From the sun-drenched shores of Madeira to the evolving landscapes of Ontario, Flight Path Home: Stories of Family, Migration, and Belonging introduces a vital new voice in Portuguese-Canadian writing. In this deeply personal memoir in essays, Steven M. Silva traces the journeys of those who came before him, following the paths taken, the paths left behind, and the lives shaped by migration across generations. Through intimate family histories, Silva explores how displacement and resettlement leave lasting marks on identity, memory, and belonging. Moving between Madeira and Ontario, between inherited stories and the present day, these essays consider what is carried across borders and what is lost along the way. Silva writes with reflective clarity about family, cultural inheritance, resilience, and the persistent desire to find a place to call home. Personal yet expansive, Flight Path Home offers a thoughtful exploration of the Portuguese-Canadian experience while speaking to the universal questions of where we come from, what we inherit, and how movement shapes who we become.
