Across Mountains, Land and Sea

This book helps us make sense of the human condition. It’s a courageous and energetic exploration that invites us to understand more about the world, and our own experiences. Azadi elucidates complex situations with poetic grace and impact. * Charlotte Fox Weber, author of WHAT WE WANT *The clean narrative delivers brutal realities. I was left reeling at one boy’s journey, his courage, the unflinching honesty. It is a timely work and an essential read. Full of humanity and grace * Melody Razak, author of MOTH *
