Description: "Researching through volumes in several libraries and archives in the United States, author Kay Mouradian visited the village in Turkey where her mother and her mother's family, along with 25,000 other Armenians, were forced to leave their homes. Traveling over the same deportation route to the deserts of Syria where more than a million Armenians perished, the author became acutely aware of the suffering of her mother's generation and the lingering sense of injustice they carried. This story of fourteen-year-old Flora Munushian brings an epic chapter in Armenian history to life and takes it to heart. Flora's voice is that of all the victims and survivors of the Armenian Genocide, a story that must not be forgotten."--From publisher description.
