Wow. Just wow. Such a strong person, voice, and series of experiences. I loved how this balanced its focus between experiences, those of trauma, love, sacrifice, self care, family, society, and everything in between. From the summary it is easy to be prepared for the issues that come from being a war refugee. What stuck with me more was the unique perspective of someone being part of and outside of so many of the things that happened to her, how she existed in and out of so many spaces in the moments she was there. This includes all of the issues after immigration as well, of how her position in her family was shifting the same time it was in society, and how she balanced life socially and privately. Very poignant. Very brave. There is simply no way this could not do as she hopes in her afterword. I can easily see this empowering others to tell their own narratives of their experiences.
