Dear Librarian, The readers who loved Princess Sultana in PRINCESS, will also embrace Joanna in LOVE IN A TORN LAND. Joanna Al-Askari is not only lovable, she also admirable. And, her life reads like a thriller. Growing up Kurdish in Baghdad, Joanna faced many challenges, but nothing could have prepared her for what was coming. After falling in love with a handsome freedom fighter, she fled Baghdad for the Kurdish mountains. Temporarily blinded in a chemical attack, buried in rubble after a bombing attack, nearly dying during a hair-raising journey on a mule over the tallest mountain in Kurdistan into Iran, finally she was safe. Or, at least she thought so. But life is filled with surprises, and Joanna’s challenges were not yet over. LOVE was selected by Booksense as an APRIL top ten non-fiction pick. I want to thank you for always being so supportive of me, and of my heroines. Jean Sasson www.jeansasson.com
