A Land of Permanent Goodbyes | 
pickI would have never picked this book up if I didn't have the plan to read every YA novel in my library starting with the A's and as hard as this book was to read, I am thankful that I have.
Tareq and his family flee as refugees from the bombs and death in Syria to embark on a journey to hopeful safety.
Trigger warning: everything bad that happens in war.
"What we've done here is just a single drop in the ocean. Its hard to be satisfied. But you have to remember that there would be no ocean without every drop."
Its important to remember that even though, one small thing seems like nothing. Every small thing builds into something more.
This is a really hard story to read but necessary.
"The story of displacement and loss is woven into fabric of human history. One day it's them, the next day it's you."

pickThis one was so good. And important. I did feel like the Destiny narration was out of place but it happened so little that it didn‘t disturb the story.
pickThis book fulfilled my last prompt for season 2 of #Booked2018 . I finished it at the library last night and cried. I recommend everyone read it. #RefugeeMC
