Butterfly: From Refugee to Olympian - My Story of Rescue, Hope, and Triumph by Yusra Mardini

adventurous emotional hopeful informative inspiring tense medium-paced

5.0

This is a powerful book about a remarkable young woman and the lengths she went to for her freedom and her dreams. I knew only "the boat story" about Yusra Madrini prior to reading this, and the book highlights why that's not even the tip of the iceberg. I think everyone - but especially anyone who has less-than-kind opinions on refugees and immigrants - should read this book to begin to understand the danger the refugees faced in their home countries and along the way to safety. If only we were all more like Sven.
