A Hope More Powerful Than the Sea: One Refugee's Incredible Story of Love, Loss, and Survival by Melissa Fleming

Anyone who doesn't realize that our world is experiencing an extreme refugee crisis or who does but doesn't think we should be helping refugees should read this short book. And after reading about Doaa's experiences if a person still doesn't feel like the world should help these destitute people then their heart is made of stone!!
Doaa doesn't want to live in Egypt or Greece or Sweden. She wants to live in the land she loves--Syria. Unfortunately, they are bombing buildings and killing millions of their own people. How would that feel? I love Sis Burton's question--ask yourself: What if their story was my story?
