The group will meet at Francie & Finch Bookshop on Saturday, May 6th at 3:30 p.m.

About the Book:
Eighteen-year-old Salama Kassab, a pharmacy student volunteering at the hospital in Homs, is desperate to find passage on a refugee boat for herself and her pregnant best friend, but first, she must learn to see the events around her for what they are: not a war, but a revolution.

About the Author:
Zoulfa Katouh is a Canadian with Syrian roots based in Switzerland. She is currently pursuing her master's in Drug Sciences and finds Studio Ghibli inspiration in the mountains, lakes, and stars surrounding her. When she's not talking to herself in the woodland forest, she's drinking iced coffee, baking aesthetic cookies and cakes, and telling everyone who would listen about how BTS paved the way. A dream of hers is to get Kim Nam-joon to read one of her books. As Long As the Lemon Trees Grow is her debut novel. She invites you to visit her online zoulfakatouh.com.

***Books will be provided to participants, compliments of Girl Scouts of Nebraska Outreach. Copies can be picked up at the meeting.***
