Loved this book! Knew nothing about it going in except that it was heavy and I knew I wanted to take my time reading it. This story follows a girl named Salama who lives in Syria. She volunteers at a hospital and is always trying to help those in need.  Things are not going well in Syria and she knows she should get out while she can, but how do you leave a place you call home?? It is about strength, HOPE, courage, family and love. It had me on my toes wondering what would happen. It was real and emotional. I cannot believe this is a debut.
