Author: Jamal Saeed & Sharon E. McKay
Publisher: Annick Press
Release date: October 2020

Yara’s Spring, by Jamal Saeed & PEI writer Sharon E. McKay, is a coming-of-age love story set in the midst of the Arab Spring. Yara, and the only people left to her, must put their lives squarely in the path of danger if they are to have a chance of survival. But how do you leave the country you love? Maybe – you don’t.

Readers are taken inside Syria—and through the emotions of love, loss, and steadfastness... Stunningly contemporary and amazingly timeless.
