Sisters of the War: Two Remarkable True Stories of Survival and Hope in Syria (Scholastic Focus)
Author: Rania Abouzeid
Publisher: Scholastic Inc.
ISBN: 1338551132
Category : Young Adult Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
An extraordinary true account of the enormous tragedy of the Syrian civil conflict. Since the revolution-turned-civil war in Syria began in 2011, over 500,000 civilians have been killed and more than 12 million Syrians have been displaced. Rania Abouzeid, one of the foremost journalists on the topic, follows two pairs of sisters from opposite sides of the conflict to give readers a firsthand glimpse of the turmoil and devastation this strife has wrought. Sunni Muslim Ruha and her younger sister Alaa withstand constant attacks by the Syrian government in rebel-held territory. Alawite sisters Hanin and Jawa try to carry on as normal in the police state of regime-held Syria. The girls grow up in a world where nightly bombings are routine and shrapnel counts as toys. They bear witness to arrests, killings, demolished homes, and further atrocities most adults could not imagine. Still, war does not dampen their sense of hope.Through the stories of Ruha and Alaa and Hanin and Jawa, Abouzeid presents a clear-eyed and page-turning account of the complex conditions in Syria leading to the onset of the harrowing conflict. With Abouzeid's careful attention and remarkable reporting, she crafts an incredibly empathetic and nuanced narrative of the Syrian civil war, and the promise of progress these young people still embody.

Pages : 449
Book Description
Winner of the Overseas Press Club of America's Cornelius Ryan Award Finalist for the Lionel Gelber Prize “Rania Abouzeid has produced a work of stunning reportage from the very heart of the conflict, daring to go to the most dangerous places in order to get the story.” —Dexter Filkins, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Forever War Award-winning journalist Rania Abouzeid dissects the tangle of ideologies and allegiances that make up the Syrian conflict through the dramatic stories of four young people seeking safety and freedom in a shattered country. Hailed by critics, No Turning Back masterfully “[weaves] together the lives of protestors, victims, and remorseless killers at the center of this century’s most appalling human tragedy” (Robert F. Worth). Based on more than five years of fearless, clandestine reporting, No Turning Back brings readers deep inside Bashar al-Assad’s prisons, to covert meetings where foreign states and organizations manipulated the rebels, and to the highest levels of Islamic militancy and the formation of the Islamic State. An utterly engrossing human drama full of vivid, indelible characters, No Turning Back shows how hope can flourish even amid one of the twenty-first century’s greatest humanitarian disasters.

When You're Not You

Pages : 206
Book Description
Kelly and Ted, a couple facing occupational burnout, knew they needed to take time off and undertook the largest risk of their married life. They left their high paid work, rented out their home, bought an old jeep, and drove the entire coast of Mexico. They didnt speak the language and they had no plan except for a daily appeal for spiritual guidance in their adventure. While walking the beach on the Caribbean side of Mexico, they were inspired to write this book and upon their return to Canada they lived in a small cabin on the lake where they chopped wood and passed the winter writing this deeply personal reality book. Although the book is about their path, in part, it largely focuses on a twenty year process of personal growth. The early part of the book describes the process through denial and the depth of alcoholic despair that culminated in suicide attempts, detox, relapse, treatment, and the search for recovery that really works. It examines many of the myths and barriers to recovery and reveals pitfalls and fear based beliefs that often lean to relapse or cross addiction. The reader learns how to become empowered and how to let go of old messages which offer little more than lives filled with compromise, anxiety, and depression. New Possibilities such as accessing inner guidance, following your heart, discovering your passion, finding meaningful purpose and enjoying inner peace are benefits gleaned from doing this work. Integrating all the tools we have acquired has allowed us to become the authorities of our own lives, creating a healthy relationship and manifesting simple abundance in all that we do. We realize that there are many paths through life and ultimately each person needs to find their own way. More so, we believe that help is always available for those who ask for it. We humbly offer this book as an inspiration to you as you empower yourself forward. Thank you, Kelly and Ted

Book Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Do you dare step through the red door? Spencer Grant had no idea what drew him to the bar with the red door. He thought he would just sit down, have a slow beer or two, and talk to a stranger. He couldn’t know that it would lead to a narrow escape from a bungalow targeted by a SWAT team. Or that it would leave him a wanted man. But now Spencer is on the run from mysterious and ruthless men. He is in love with a woman he knows next to nothing about. And he is hiding from a past he can’t fully remember. On his trail is a shadowy security agency that answers to no one—including the U.S. government—and a man who considers himself a compassionate Angel of Death. But worst of all, Spencer Grant is on a collision course with inner demons he thought he’d buried years ago—inner demons that could destroy him if his enemies don’t first.
