The plight of refugees and immigrants will always move me.
And Hadi and Sama’s story is particularly heartbreaking.

Some stories make your heart bleed and I make you cry until you have no tears left to shed. The words inside them are like tiny particles of glass that deeply stab you and leave invisible scars on your souls.

This is a story that will have you hating humanity - for its evil and unkind treatment of others.
But it will also have you loving humanity for its inspiring resilience and hope in the face of tragedy.

A breathtaking novel of separation, love and borders. Bursting with emotion and longing. This novel affirms home is a place we make for ourself rather than physical place.

Broken - that’s my warning. This will break you. It will hurt deep in your gut and you will ugly cry and your partner will have to ask you if you are okay in the middle of the night.
