I wrote this essay last week & then updated it repeatedly as events unfolded. It's a call not to let talk of geopolitics & HTS overshadow the human significance of Assad’s overthrow as a victory made by Syrians' own perseverance. In @ConversationUS theconversation.com/syrians-in-a-t…

In "We Crossed a Bridge and It Trembled," Abdel-Halim describes rebels' evacuation from the Homs Old City in 2014 after years of brutal siege. I hope this is one of many things in my books that will be proven wrong. You will see #Homs again, Abdel-Halim. She is waiting for you.

Could literally see journalists partying inside the CNN/Politico Grill while we were covering the sit-in happening right out front.

@Wendy_Pearlman @BookRiot Can’t wait to read!

It's #PubDay for THE HOME I WORKED TO MAKE! Recording Syrians' stories has been the honor of my life. The book “is a testament to the resilience of the survivors of war in the face of unspeakable loss” (@BookRiot). It's also about the meaning of home. wwnorton.com/books/97813240…
