Overview

This book is my testament, my battle cry, my lullaby. It's for every soul adrift in a world that too often turns its back on compassion. May these words be a beacon, illuminating the shared humanity that binds us all, refugee and citizen alike. When the fierce hunger of Serbian nationalism reaches Bosnia, Nadina Ronc and her brother are suddenly bundled into the family's car. The moment they leave their home in the Bosnian city of Brcko, they become a family of refugees. Drawing on her work as a journalist and political analyst, Nadina Ronc's memoir is an unflinching account of the breakup of a country and the breakup of a family. A powerful read, it chronicles systematic abuse of power and reveals what being a refugee in a foreign country can really be like.
