A simple powerful story from Nujeen, a disabled teen who flees Syria as a refugee. The writing is straightforward and flowed well. It puts a human voice behind the millions of refugees. I tried to put myself in her spot and it blows me away how much she went through just trying to find safety and a home. It was also filled with a lot of facts about Syria and what was going on in the world at the time, which was interesting, but I loved it when it was just Nujeen's voice, sharing how she felt.
I think this is a good, quick book for anyone to read to gain compassion for the plight of refugees across the world.

An incredibly inspiring memoir! Bit of a slow read at times, but considering Nujeen learnt English from watching Days of Our Lives that is completely understandable :D

Nujeen communicates herself well with a lady called Christina who helps her write this book. I find any refugee a positive example because of the hard decisions and journey they’ve been on to get where they need to be and escape whatever horror their country is going through.
Nujeen has cerebral palsy and with the help of her family she gets to Germany and gets the safety she wanted but opportunities. I appreciated her honesty of her experiences and how she misses her family so much

Feel like everyone should read this book just to put a name, face, and story to the “refugee crisis”. It was so impactful for me to hear Nujeen’s story, and I think people could gain so much compassion and empathy for refugees by reading her story.

I decided to remove my rating because I thought about it and it's not fair of me to rate someone else's life.
