I cried at the end during the author's note. Other Words for Home is a beautifully written story of Jude, a young Syrian girl fleeing her war-torn country with her pregnant mama for America, which is too loud and too fast for her in the beginning, leaving behind her Baba and brother. It's such a lovely story about home and family. I listened to it on audio and highly enjoyed it in that format.
