This gripping book, written by an award-winning foreign correspondent, is an inspirational account of her mission to save two orphans of the war in Iraq.
Jabar, a Lebanese woman and now a British subject married to an English photographer, paints a harrowing picture of the children maimed physically and mentally by bombings inflicted by American troops. A childless woman who longs for children of her own, Jabar becomes emotionally involved with a grandmother and her two surviving grandchildren. Jabar's inner conflicts and bravery in the face of war, plus her relationship with this devastated family, make this a book that's hard to put down. Her bravery and courage are an inspiration.
