Reviews

"A Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection ""Sensitively crafted and thought-provoking memoir...This searching, introspective work--a timely tale of resilience--presciently observes that 'words, ideas, hate can kill people.'"" --Publishers Weekly, starred review ""This moving and deeply personal story is framed in a way that makes the larger political, religious, and ethnic complexities accessible. Simultaneously candid and heartbreaking yet warm and engaging."" --Kirkus ""With her deftly rendered memories, Sabic-El-Rayess transports readers into summers of a different era, which will be illuminating for some and resonantly familiar for others. Ideal for fans of Rex Ogle and Katherine Marsh or those not quite ready for Ruta Sepetys' YA historical fiction."" --Booklist"
