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

4.0

A great education for me about the refugee crisis, and even more important for putting a human face on it. I read this book thinking, "this could just as easily have been me." Or any of us, for that matter. Doaa and her family are victims of circumstances. She encounters terrible people who are out only for themselves, but also good people who show great kindness. If you don't want to invest in the whole book, there's a TED Talk about Doaa you can use as a starting point. This stuff is important.
