Goodreads asked Atia Abawi:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Atia Abawi My next book, releasing in 2018, involves the current Refugee Crisis. I was inspired to write about the journey of the refugees to give a deeper glimpse into a story we all saw on the news but not many may feel connected to. I was born a refugee when my parents escaped a raging war, while my mother was pregnant with me, so I couldn't help but think of what they went through and the many millions of others throughout the current crisis and past ones.
