This book follows 4 generations of a family. You have your favorite family members, the ones you're rooting for. There were family members I wanted to know more about. This book filled me with an uneasy sense of steadiness. Uprooting their family not once but 4-5 times! And they kept their steadiness. I can't imagine that. The strength, the pain. For anyone who wants a not, USA propaganda book about the Muslim experience, read this book and have your eyes and hearts opened.

We must open our eyes to more perspectives of people's lives than just the ones the USA wants us to believe.
