Descriere Good Morning, Hope: A True Story of Refugee Twin Sisters and Their Triumph over War, Poverty, and Heartbreak - Argita Zalli

\n \nReaders will be fascinated. . . . A haunting reminder of how precious democracy is.-Kirkus Reviews\n \nThe inspiring true story of the Zalli family, forced to rebuild their lives in a new, uncertain land\n \nBorn in poverty-stricken Albania, twin sisters Argita and Detina Zalli always dreamed of becoming doctors. Their parents scrimped and sacrificed, committed to giving them a better life. But then the unthinkable happened. In 1997, the government collapsed, plunging the country into anarchy and civil war.\n \nThe twins' dream unraveled along with their homeland. Their parents had to find a way to leave and save their daughters' futures-not to mention their very lives.\n \nIt took over two years for the Zalli family to escape. After several dangerous attempts, they finally made it to England, where the thirteen-year-old twins believed everything would be much better. They soon found out otherwise. Now refugees, with little more than the clothes on their backs, the girls were mercilessly bullied and constantly afraid they would be sent back to Albania and their parents would be sent to jail.\n \nStill, the twins persevered and learned how to navigate their harsh new reality. When tragedy struck yet again, threatening what they held most dear, the girls had to come to terms with the high price they had all paid to survive.\n \nIn Good Morning, Hope, Argita and Detina share their harrowing story of courage and resilience. It was the strength of their family, particularly the sisters' unbreakable bond as twins, that nurtured and sustained them throughout their perilous ordeal.\n
