Hey y’all, just a reminder that the stunning The Cat I Never Named : A True Story of Love, War, and Survival (Hardcover) by Amra Sabic-El-Rayess (🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟) published today! I cannot strongly enough recommend that you get a copy (at book depository here for example) or read the full review to decide.

Recommended: Absolutely
For people who want to be better people, for people who have never learned about the ethnic cleansing that took place in the 90s in Bosnia & Herzegovina, for a memoir of the extremes of emotion — highest hopes and bleakest depressions
Expected Release: September 8, 2020

Summary:
Amra was a teen in Bihac, Bosnia, when her friend said they couldn’t speak anymore because Amra was Muslim. Then refugees from other cities started arriving, fleeing Serbian persecution. When Serbian tanks rolled into Bihac, the life she knew disappearedβ€”right as a stray cat followed her home. Her family didn’t have the money to keep a pet, but after the cat seemed to save her brother, how could they turn it away? Saving a life one time could be a coincidence, but then it happened againβ€”and Amra and her family wondered just what this cat was. This is the story of a teen who, even in the brutality of war, never wavered in her determination to obtain education, maintain friendships, and even find a first loveβ€”and the cat that provided comfort, and maybe even served as a guardian spirit, in the darkest of times.
