“The effects of war last long even after
the shooting stops. A war ceases but its catastrophe remains beyond the expected life span of us mortals. War leaves its imprint in the form of physical and mental ruination.”
Recently I got my hands on the book “Beyond Borders” authored by Lejla Becirovic. Lejla’s story is different. It is inspiring. Lejla is a Bosnian refugee. Her family left Bosnia and moved to United States in the hope of good and secure life. What Lejla’s family didn’t know is that her stepmother will be diagnosed with same disease to which she lost her birth mother.
Listening to the story from the author herself as first person made me to connect more with her story. Author has rightly mentioned that the effects of war last even after it stops. Lejla who was ELBW “Extremely low birth weight” baby was born for a special purpose in life. Grab a copy of this book to know how author struggled at time of war, how she managed her grief.
This is an emotional read. I was shocked to read what all Lejla and her family have witnessed in their life. I must say that author is a strong person and her story should reach more and more people. Her writing style is nice. Cover photo of the book could have been more creative. Title is perfect and according to the story. It’s a highly recommended book to my fellow readers.
