I don't feel comfortable giving this book a star rating due to the nature of how it was written, however I will say all the writers did an amazing job. The stories all connect in an interesting way, and it paints a beautiful, if often tragic picture of life in a refugee camp.

This book had such a cool concept - a collection of short stories by varying authors living as refugees in Lebanon all woven into one continuous and interwoven story.
The extras (voice notes, videos, recommendations, reflection questions) included with the Audrey audiobook really deepened my experience
