Summary "A portrait of Syrian and Iraqi refugees and the belongings they carry"-- Provided by publisher.
Note "There are always historians among the survivors of war - people who carry stories not in books but in small things. A woman sews her city into a dress. A young man saves his neighborhood in a song. The things they salvage speak to what has been lost and rescued, so that it might be remembered."--Back cover.
