Flying Carpet of Small Miracles Hardback - 2009
by Jaber, Hala
The inspiring true story of a prizewinningforeign correspondent longing for a child,two small Iraqi girls in need of a mother,and what love and grief can teach us aboutfamily and hope.
Zahra, age three, and Hawra, only a fewmonths old, were the only survivors of a missilestrike in Baghdad in 2003 that killed theirparents and five siblings. Across the world, inLondon, foreign correspondent Hala Jaberwas preparing to head to Iraq to cover theemerging war. After ten years spent trying toconceive, Jaber and her husband had finallyresigned themselves to a childless future.Now she intended to bury her grief in herwork, with some unusually dangerous reporting.Once in Iraq, though, Jaber foundherself drawn again and again to stories ofmothers and children, a path that led herto an Iraqi children's hospital-and to Zahraand Hawra and their heart-wrenching story.Almost instantly Jaber became entwinedin the lives of these girls, and in a struggleto advocate on their behalf that reveals farmore about the human cost of war than anynews bulletin ever could.
Beautifully written and deeply moving,The Flying Carpet of Small Miracles presentsa genuinely fresh insight and perspectivefrom a woman who, as an Arab livingand working in the West, is able to uniquelystraddle both worlds. In its attention to theemotional experiences of women and childrenwhose lives are irrevocably changed bywar, Jaber's story offers hope for redemptionfor those caught in its cross fires.
