For anyone interested in the Palestinian diaspora, this book follows one family's story over three generations from fleeing Nablus during the Six-Day War to modern life in Beirut, Amman, and America. 

Hana Alyan crafts a great read that reminds readers that everyone lives a story and the impact of war on everyday people.
