4.5

What an incredible memoir. It’s so hard to hear but so important. She is so reflective and her life story is incredible. Especially her time in prison. I also appreciate how she talked about afterwards. I think everyone should read the story to get an understanding of Palestine and the conflict as well as what the children of Palestine have been through.

This memoir was so powerful. I spent the majority of the book ugly crying. It opened my eyes. Due to the current situation going on in Palestine, I went searching and found this book. I had no idea the horrors they are going through and have been going through for 75 years. Please pick up this book. It is so powerful and moving.
