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

5.0

I will never forget this book and I believe that everyone should read this. It is heartbreaking, inspirational, and educational.

The following are quotes from a letter from Doaa, the strong and brave woman whose story is told in this book.

“It is only a small glimpse of the hardship and pain that refugees around the world endure. I represent just one voice among the millions who risk their lives every day in order to live a life of dignity.”

“Our only wish is to live in peace. We are not terrorists. We are human beings just like you. We have hearts that feel, yearn, love, and hurt.”
