This was my favorite book of April, but it will stick with me for a long time.
Tamimi describes daily life under Israeli occupation, and her experience having been arrested and imprisoned at 16 years old for confronting an Israeli soldier.
She shines a light on Palestine's history, and that of others struggling for freedom around the world.
She reveals the spirit of Palestinians, who have endured so much unrest for decades, passing it down through generations; their resistance runs deep and starts early.
As Americans, it's easy to take our freedoms for granted; most of us unable to comprehend injustices of this magnitude. But we can learn, and we can resist too.
I can't recommend it enough. This is a must read.
Thank you PRH Audio for the gifted audiobook!
