Book description: Eighteen-year-old Salama Kassab, a pharmacy student volunteering at a hospital in Homs, is desperate to find passage on a refugee boat for herself and her pregnant best friend. But she is torn between her loyalty to her country and her conviction to survive. Salama must contend with bullets and bombs, military assaults, and her shifting sense of morality before she might finally breathe free. Soon, Salama must learn to see the events around her for what they truly are–not a war, but a revolution–and decide how she, too, will cry for Syria’s freedom.
