She joins many who have fled their beautiful homeland. Each speaks in turn as they parse their tangled stories and consider whether they dare return to what once was home. The soft cover will be available October 8.Every genocide is unique, and yet the suffering and endurance of the survivors of each such outbreak of madness transcends both time and place.
