    About this ebook

    Overcoming the anguish of becoming a widow with four young children, Joan is determined to offer them the ultimate field trip. Accepting a teaching position at an international school, she takes her children to live in Aleppo, Syria in August 2005. Uprooted from the ease of their Canadian home to live and travel in a world totally outside their comfort zone, they are challenged with different languages, religions, customs, monetary systems, climate, and general world view.

    Journey through pre-war Aleppo to discover the splendour of this once vibrant city. Join in their adventures throughout the Middle East and Europe, appreciating how other cultures influenced their lives and world view. Meet their new friends and hear about the impact of the subsequent Syrian war on their neighbours. Get inspired to become uprooted in your own life, and gain a wider understanding of this global community in which we live.

      Brené Brown talks about our sense of belonging to each other being something that can never be lost, but can be forgotten. That resonates with me because until recently, I didn’t think about the idea of belonging unless it was missing. Belonging had
