’‘You deserve to be happy here. Having lost her whole family, Salama and her best friend and sister in law are trying to survive.

Though it’s a story of one, it’s a heartfelt story of the decent, sinless Syrian people. For years Syrians have been tortured, murdered and banished from their country at the hands of a tyrannical regime, and we owe it to them to know their stories. An historical fiction with a young adult romance blossoming amidst the chaos is never something I thought I would fall for.

This book is a must-read historical fiction to understand the Syrian war and its people. I couldn't be happier.
