As I read this book, I cried. I cried because Doaa Al Zamel’s story is moving. I cried because her courage and strength inspired me. I also cried because of all the heartache, violence and destruction that is highlighted in this book. As I read this book, I’m grateful for my comfortable life and ashamed that I make mountains out of my molehill problems. Those are the emotions that a good biography is supposed to evoke, Right? Well, if that’s the point of a biography than this one is one of the best!
