SynopsisThat night in the hospital I witnessed pain, hurt, and a harsh truth that froze on my lips and turned tears in my eyes to stone: the truth that the Syrian regime had used chemical weapons to indiscriminately kill men, women, and children. "I didn't cry throughout the whole experience, not a single tear. I was like a soldier. I was a machine. The bodies of children piled up around me, and I was stunned, shocked, unable to comprehend-or more accurately, I didn't allow myself to fully comprehend what was happening. "But now I cry a lot. I remember that horrible event like a repetitive nightmare, except it isn't a bad dream. It happened … I know what happened because I lived it. I survived it. "This is my story, which I am telling for history's sake. I will not live forever, but these testimonies, these truths, should.", This searing memoir tells the story of a young doctor and activist who ran an underground hospital in Damascus, humanizing the enduring crisis in Syria. Simply put, there is no one in Syria with a story like Dr. Amani Ballour's. The only woman to have ever run a wartime hospital, she saved her peers from the atrocities of war while contending with the patriarchal conservatism around her. Growing up in Assad's Syria, Ballour knew she wanted to be more than a housewife, even as her siblings were married off in their teens. As the revolution unfolded, she volunteered at a local clinic and was thrown into the deep end of emergency medicine. Among the facets of this powerful tale- Becoming a hospital director. Shielding children from a horrific sarin attack. Losing colleagues. Attempting to employ more women. Abandoning the hospital. Becoming a refugee. Moving forward. Amani Ballour is a game changer who, like Malala Yousafzai, will be remembered as one of history's great heroines. Growing up in a closely confined society, she dared to dream-first of an education, then of a career-that allowed her to make her mark on the world and protect the country she loves. A passionately committed humanitarian, she is determined that others will escape the horrors she survived.
