An extraordinary true account of the enormous tragedy of the Syrian civil conflict.Since the revolution-turned-civil war in Syria began in 2011, over 500,000 civilians have been killed and more than 12 million Syrians have been displaced. Rania Abouzeid, one of the foremost journalists on the topic, follows two pairs of sisters from opposite sides of the conflict to give readers a firsthand glimpse of the turmoil and devastation this strife has wrought. Sunni Muslim Ruha and her younger sister Alaa withstand constant attacks by the Syrian government in rebel-held territory. Alawite sisters Hanin and Jawa try to carry on as normal in the police state of regime-held Syria. The girls grow up in a world where nightly bombings are routine and shrapnel counts as toys. They bear witness to arrests, killings, demolished homes, and further atrocities most adults could not even imagine. Still, war does not dampen their sense of hope. Through the stories of Ruha and Alaa and Hanin and Jawa, Abouzeid presents a clear-eyed and page-turning account of the complex conditions in Syria leading to the onset of the harrowing conflict. With Abouzeid's careful attention and remarkable reporting, she crafts an incredibly empathetic and nuanced narrative of the Syrian civil war, and the promise of progress these young people still embody.

you need this in your life
Color: Rose Gold #01, Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Color: Rose Gold #01, Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve used this body liquid shimmer oil three times already for photo shoots, and it has completely become my go-to for glowing skin. If your skin ever looks dull or never quite “camera ready,” this product instantly changes that.
It gives an intense, beautiful shimmer that makes the skin look smooth, radiant, and glowy without looking cheap or overdone. It also helps blur the look of imperfections while adding a really stunning sparkle that catches the light perfectly. if you are into camera photography, you need this.
What impressed me most is that it doesn’t transfer and actually stays put through sweat, movement, and long wear. It lasts all day and doesn’t get on clothing, which is rare for body shimmer products.
I even used it for my birthday and everyone was obsessed with how glowing the skin looked they kept asking me for the link. I didn’t expect much at first, but it completely exceeded my expectations. It’s easy to apply, dries down well, and is honestly my holy grail for any outfit showing skin. it makes my skin look so perfect up to the point where it’s kind of uncanny.

Will purchase again & again ✨
Color: Glistening Bronze #03, Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I love this product so much! I don’t know what TJ other reviews are talking about by saying it doesn’t last long - when I apply this, it lasts all day. I did a darker shade than I thought I should but that worked out great because it makes me look tanner and makes my skin look so shiny, glittery, and even. For the price, you can’t beat this product. I get excited to put it on! Do yourself a favor & get this. You deserve to feel pretty and shiny :)

The body shimmer is like being kissed by warm summer breeze a glow of star dust. It lights not sticky or tacky. It gloriously luxurious but simple way to step a look.
