Taking only what they can carry, they flee into the mountains, but the journey is so difficult that only Samira and her older brother survive.

When the Turkish army invades northwestern Persia in 1918, nine-year-old Samira and her parents, brother, and baby sister are driven from their tiny village. Taking only what they can carry, they flee into the mountains, but the journey is so difficult that only Samira and her older brother survive. Shunted from one refugee camp to another, from Persia to Iraq and back again, Samira finally ends up in an orphanage, where it seems that she will live out her childhood. Then Susan Shedd, the new orphanage director, arrives and, to Samira's amazement, announces that she will take all the children back to their villages to make new lives for themselves. With wonder and fear, Samira and three hundred other orphans embark on an epic march of three hundred miles through the mountains towards home.Binding Type: Paperback

Won't open wide enough.
Size: Large, Color: 1-beige
The purse looks very good. However it only opens 4". It is very difficult to quickly find items when trying to make s purchase. Especially when there is a long line.

Bag is gorgeous! Rich shades of color!
Color: 1-shell Plus Brown, Color: 1-shell Plus Brown
I was expecting to return because of some of the feedback. Some said it is cheaply made, no lining, small, stiff. It is larger than I expected which is perfect for me and not that stiff, more sturdy and durable is what I call it. The shading on this one is like a mauve on the outside and towards the middle is brown and in the very middle, a dark olive green. The lining is really nice espresso brown with 2 smaller pockets, one large middle zipper and one zip pocket on rear wall. I haven't removed the plastic off the handles yet and off the hanging gold circle. Comes with the long strap for crossbody so exceeded every expectation for me. I feel that once it is filled and breaks in a little, it will look richer and richer. This was worth every penny for me and probably going to be my favorite every day bag!
