Depicts a refugee's life over the course of over a decade, including chronic hunger and deep poverty. Some readers may like to know how the author's life turned out to get through the more difficult material:

He lives in the USA with his wife and 5 children. They succeeded in finding his long lost mother, who remains a refugee but in contact with them. Hassan has medical care. Maryam is a fictional character composed of stories of other girls.
