This book was both heartbreaking and phenomenal. A story of a Palestinian refuge and her experiences as she comes of age, and does what she has to in order to find her footing in an unstable world in the face of political turmoil, revolutions, and being both with and without a nation. I loved her and I loved this book. It was so rich.
