About the Book

SUMMARY OF THE MEMOIR

In this profoundly moving memoir, the author recounts her journey of survival and resilience during the horrors of the war in Bosnia. Beginning on April 7th, 1992, the narrative takes us through the life of a 17-year-old girl whose world is turned upside down by the outbreak of conflict in Bosnia. The memoir provides an intimate portrayal of her struggle to navigate a life filled by violence, loss, and worry. From the eerie stillness of Eid in her once-vibrant neighborhood in Foca to the harrowing experiences in the besieged city of Sarajevo, each chapter vividly depicts the realities of living in a war zone.

The narrative mingles personal reflections, cultural insights, and historical context. It offers a comprehensive and profoundly human perspective on the war and its impact on the region and its people. The memoir vividly details the author's experiences of constant displacement, hunger, and fear while highlighting moments of kindness, solidarity, and the enduring strength of familial bonds. Her journey is not just one of survival but also an emotional odyssey that explores themes of resilience, hope, and the power of human connection in the face of hard times and sorrow. Part of this memoir includes the author's experience with love and marriage during the war, a decision made under the looming threat of death. This personal story symbolizes hope and defiance against war, underscoring the human capacity for love and commitment even in dire circumstances.

Ultimately, the memoir concludes with the decision to leave Bosnia for a safer place to raise a child, a relentless pursuit of a better and more peaceful life. This powerful narrative is not only a personal account but also serves as a tribute to those who lost their lives in the conflict, especially the author's brothers, who represent countless other untold stories of sacrifice and courage during the Bosnian War. Through this memoir, the author invites readers to witness the harsh realities of life during wartime.
