Description
Samia Omar's life is defined by her dreams and her determination. Growing up in war-torn Somalia, she sets her sights on becoming a world-class sprinter, with Mo Farah's photo proudly displayed beside her bed.
After achieving a place on the national team to compete in the Beijing Olympics, Samia focuses on the 2012 games in London. However, as the war encroaches on her family's lives, she makes a perilous decision: joining her sister and embarking on a treacherous journey to Europe, putting everything she holds dear at risk.
This gripping story explores the complexities of Samia's world, where the pursuit of her dreams is constantly threatened by the harsh realities of war and displacement.
