A Young Woman Stands In Front Of A Map Of The World, Her Face Hopeful And Determined. The Moon In Your Sky: An Immigrant S Journey Home

In her memoir, An Immigrant Journey Home, author Aida Edemariam weaves a poignant and inspiring tale of her family's journey from war-torn Bosnia to a new life in America. Through vivid and evocative prose, Edemariam captures the struggles and triumphs of immigrants as they navigate the challenges of a new country and culture.

Edemariam's story begins in the small Bosnian town of Banja Luka, where she was born in 1977. The daughter of a Muslim father and a Christian mother, Edemariam grew up in a peaceful and tolerant community. However, in 1992, all of that changed when war broke out in Bosnia.

For the next four years, Edemariam and her family lived in constant fear. They were forced to flee their home and hide in the woods to escape the fighting. They witnessed unspeakable horrors and lost loved ones to the violence.

In 1996, Edemariam and her family were finally able to escape Bosnia and come to the United States. They settled in a small town in Pennsylvania, where they began the difficult process of rebuilding their lives.

Edemariam's memoir is a powerful and moving account of the immigrant experience. She writes with honesty and candor about the challenges she and her family faced, the losses they suffered, and the hopes they held for the future.

An Immigrant Journey Home is more than just a personal story. It is a story that speaks to the universal human experience of loss, hope, and redemption. It is a story that will stay with readers long after they finish reading it.
