Description

Escaping the Syrian civil war is the single most difficult thing my family has ever done -- but exile comes with its own longing and sense of nostalgia.

This memoir details my coming-of-age story amid the terrors of war. I was a hopeful young woman who dreamt of escaping her overly strict school and becoming a pharmacist... but just as that dream started to take form, the winds of change blew through in March of 2011 and reduced my homeland to dust.

Soon, snipers, barricades, and bombings were the new norm. My once-vibrant home had become a wasteland plagued with electricity cuts, communication bans, poverty, and destruction. Just like any war survivor, I gradually became desensitized to the horrors surrounding me.

In October of 2016, I packed my diploma and broken dreams into a green suitcase and left the country that had tried to kill me more than once... but what people forget is that to escape a war is to leave behind a lifetime. What was once suffocation becomes exile -- so in what reality can we rediscover life?

The Art of Survival is a first-person memoir that follows the life of Leen Youssef and details the destruction of the Syrian people, as political parties decided to spar from their safehouses.
