She meets and falls in love with Bassem, a former Free Syrian Army fighter and together they decide to leave behind the hardship and harassment they face in Egypt to flee for Europe, joining the ranks of the thousands of refugees who make the dangerous journey across the Mediterranean on overcrowded and run- down ships to seek asylum overseas and begin a new life. After four days at sea, their boat is sunk by another boat filled with angry men shouting threats and insults. With no land in sight and surrounded by bloated, floating corpses, Doaa is adrift with a child’s inflatable water ring around her waist, while two little girls cling to her neck. Doaa must stay alive for them. She must not lose strength. She must not lose hope. 600 10 Zamel, Doaa Al,|d1995- 650 0 Women refugees|zSyria|vBiography. 650 0 Refugees|zSyria|vBiography. 650 0 Refugees|zEgypt|vBiography. 650 0 Survival at sea|zMediterranean Sea|xHistory|y21st century. 650 0 Syrians|zEgypt|vBiography. 651 0 Syria|xHistory|yCivil War, 2011-|xRefugees. 651 0 Syria|xHistory|yCivil War, 2011-|vBiography. 655 7 Biographies.|2lcgft 655 7 Large type books.|2lcgft 830 0 Thorndike Press large print popular and narrative nonfiction.
