A hope more powerful than the sea ( Book Club Sets ) : one refugee's incredible story of love, loss, and survival / Melissa Fleming.
Adrift in a frigid sea, no land in sight and just debris from the ship's wreckage and bloated, floating corpses all around. Doaa Zamel floats with a child's water ring around her waist, hardly a suitable life preserver, while two children, barely toddlers, cling to her neck. The children had been thrust into her arms by their drowning parents, all refugees from Syria who boarded a dangerously overcrowded ship from Egypt bound for Sweden and a new life.
