About this listen
Samah Sabawi shares the story of her parents and many like them who were born as their parents were being forced to leave their homelands.
Filled with love for land, history, and people, it is more than anything else—a family story and a love story told with enormous humanity and feeling. How the son (one of six), born at the height of the displacements to a disabled father and illiterate mother, a believer in peaceful resistance, became a leading poet and writer in Palestine, before being forced, with his own young family in tow, to flee and start a new life in Australia.
One of the gifts of Samah Sabawi's Baba is to remain open-hearted and optimistic.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Poetry of Love, Loss, and Resistance
I really enjoyed reading this book , it made me laugh and it made me cry also got me on my feet , As a reader, I was profoundly moved by how Sabawi weaves themes of love, identity, loss, and exile into her story .
Also loved the sense of humour.
It left me with a deeper appreciation for the struggle, survival, and tenderness found in the journey of life ,
I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for poetry that is both heart-wrenching and beautiful.
Absolutely worth reading, thank you Samah for sharing your dad’s Journey.
Looking forward for more to come .

A heartfelt journey
Thank you Samah for the sharing your father's story and reflecting the struggles, pain and injustice of a beautiful nation that was shamefully abandoned by its sister nations and the world.

So much we didn’t know …
An authentic family story - the love, the humour and the tragic - the reader is invited to share all of it and feel the terror of the wars, the displacement and being made a refugee in your own homeland …
