Amala's Hope

A Family from Syria: A Story Based on Real History

Beschreibung

Amala's Hope by Tana Reiff is part of the Hopes and Dreams series--twelve inspiring historical novels about immigrants rebuilding their lives in the United States. Each book tells a story of courage and resilience in the face of displacement and prejudice, showing how ordinary people find belonging in a new country. In this moving 80-page novel, the Najjar family flees war-torn Aleppo and endures five years in a refugee camp before resettling in Texas. Only teenage Amala speaks some English, and through her eyes we experience both the generosity and the challenges of starting over. As Amala navigates school, faith, and friendship in a new land, she learns that true hope--her own namesake--comes from compassion, courage, and community.
