Lina is a typical teenager dreaming about the life she is going to have, but there is nothing ordinary about her day-to-day existence. Living in Baghdad during the Iraq War, everything is uncertain and Lina almost gives up. But then she meets Steve, an American soldier, and she dares to hope that things may turn out okay after all.
This story takes you into a war zone so that you understand how every part of your life can change and how little control you have over this. It immerses you in a completely different culture and helps you appreciate the freedoms we take for granted. Fortunately the gory details of war are presented in such a matter of fact way that you want to keep on reading.
Who would enjoy this? Readers who want their world view to be expanded will find this an insightful and interesting read.
