Three summers : a memoir of sisterhood, summer crushes, and growing up on the eve of war / Amra Sabic-El-Rayess, with Laura L. Sullivan.
"During the genocide in Bosnia that followed the events of this memoir, the unknown defined my life. Every day, I was an infintesimal moment away from being blown up, executed, or taken to a concentration camp. It was at those junctures that I recognized how the extraordinary is constructed of the seemingly ordinary moments in our lives. The extraordinary is a gift of laughter, a shared family meal, a friend who becomes closer than a cousin, and a cousin who becomes a sister, even if only for a moment, even if only for a summer."-- Back cover.
