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.

Extremely inspiring and a galvanizing story. I am constantly impressed by the accomplishments and willpower of young women. I kind of wish there was a bit more historical context but that’s nitpicking. The story spoke for itself and was extremely inspiring.
