"Thura's Diary: My Life in Wartime Iraq" is a poignant firsthand account of life in Iraq during the tumultuous period of the Iraq War. Written by Thura Al-Windawi, a young girl whose life is turned upside down by the invasion, the diary reveals her daily struggles, fears, and resilience as she navigates a war-torn landscape. Through her eyes, readers experience the impact of conflict on families, communities, and the fragility of childhood amid chaos. Thura's reflections serve as a powerful reminder of the human spirit's capacity to endure, hope, and find moments of joy even in the darkest times.
