Angels on Her Shoulders: An Iraqi Woman's Tale of Survival

By Mona Al-Qesi

Book Overview

"She moved through the Baghdad streets purposefully but fearfully this early evening. Her only thought now was of taking things minute by minute, since there was no telling where all this would lead." Forced to flee the homeland she loves, an Iraqi woman crosses borders . of cultures, of continents, of religions, of ideas. The true story of Mona's odyssey carries us through love affairs and heartbreak, friendship and betrayal, laughter and despair. And through it all, enduring faith.
