Everyone should read this book. I historically have a difficult time following current world and historical events and feeling like I have a good grasp on them (hello white American privilege I know). As someone who has been horrified by the genoc*de currently being committed to the Palestinian people, this book did an amazing job capturing the life of Ahed and the trauma Palestinians endure, while also including information on history of Israel’s occupation, apartheid, and treatment of Palestinians - especially in recent years. This book made a difficult subject approachable for me and I will continue learning more.

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.
