Flight from a War-Torn Country

A Syrian Boy's Quest for Peace

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

A Palestinian boy experiences the brutal repression of Syria's civil uprising, leaves family and home for a safer country, and eventually arrives in Finland, a society incomprehensibly different from everything familiar to him. Tragically, trauma has affected him in ways that make adjustment to a safe environment extremely challenging.
