The Key of success is God to prove that read the book and make your own judgment.
This book is not just about the journey of a refugee. It's about a man who flees abroad after converting to Christianity and realizing that his country would never let him practice his religion openly. This book is about the freedom to choose your belief.
Hamid's story depicts numerous trials, heartbreaks, and losses, but it is also about making it to the other side. Read about how he went from being a child selling corn outside schools to being a soldier in the army. Later, he was tortured by the same army he had served, just because he had been found with a Bible. Finally, Hamid leaves behind his parents, his home, and his country, searching for a better future after he is found drinking alcohol and punished for it. With one of his friends, he escaped in a tractor and boarded a trip to Italy. He was caught and jailed on the journey there but used his quick thinking to convince the guards to let him stay. Then he escaped from Italy and reached Paris, penniless and haggard. A gang of thieves tried to hire him to steal, but after he explained he could not do that, they accepted it and found him actual work. Later, he escaped to Frankfurt as soon as he got enough money and eventually found refuge in Germany.
Finally, he managed to make his way to Tuscan, Arizona, where he fell in love, married, and finally found solace. This book will make you fall in love with its brilliant storytelling, cultural richness, and positive message. It is a book about finally making it to the other side and finding acceptance
