This story had me in tears - so sad but beautiful and inspiring. I think it is an essential read for Americans because this story echoes those of many immigrants and refugees that face intense scrutiny and prejudice daily.

This graphic novel is a quick short look at life in Iraq pre and post ISIS along with the journey to America. The trauma that one daughter experiences is unraveled through the book and you go on this terrible journey to see how someone’s world can completely change in an instant. It has some resemblance to Persepolis and was an amazing read.
