This story begins where so many ended, a childhood fractured by circumstances, a family fleeing under cover of night across the border to Iraq. These pages trace a young girl's unlikely journey from childhood to adulthood, from a family entrenched in Kurdish traditions, from refugee camps to the canals of Amsterdam, where freedom awaited.Though names have been changed and events reimagined, beneath the fiction pulses the heartbeat of truth. The story of a young girl who endured much to survive and call somewhere home. This book is a tribute to my beautiful, courageous and loving friend. A person who endured hardship and uncertainty but has chosen to not let the events of her young life define who she is. This is her story.
