Description

A debut Memoir in the form of a series of journeys, beginning in 2001 and ending in 2014, in which the author discovers and rediscovers herself and her birthplace at dramatic intervals for both. Beginning in the wake of 9/11 - Nadia flies 'home' with her mother to find life difficult under Saddam's Iraq dictatorship and US sanctions. Her fate seems to follow like a river the charged destiny of her native land. Returning in 2006, Nadia is on a new mission- Saddam is dead, and the country has been damaged and almost destroyed by the Iran/Iraq and Gulf wars. She arrives this time, in her official professional capacity as a high ranking consultant for The United States Agency for International Development, USAID helping to restore Iraq's economy and infrastructure. Her next several journeys take on the rhythm of a professional commute as she lives and works in the Green Zone. Her final, or at least most recent visit in 2014 is the most highly charged: Nadia must return to Baghdad despite rising terrorism and immediate threat. Her reasons are deep and manifold. Her own personal life is in chaos, and she longs for the comfort of her Khalas, the only women in the world, who collectively can help heal her grief over the death of her mother.
