But that is easier said than done and as the fighting intensifies Liridona experiences loss like she could never have imagined.With rape, murder and crimes against humanity all around, Liridona must somehow hold onto her sanity as she tries desperately to survive and find a safe haven, away from the madness of war.But can she get out of Kosovo alive and find what's left of her family? And even if she does, will the secret shame she now carries within her ever be something that she will be able to live with?
