Sumaia Ali –
The words can’t describe this masterpiece, it was a beautiful book, and the stories were very interesting. I sometimes felt intense sadness, shock, joy, and sadness in each chapter. I felt a heap of feelings, and I could not believe what you through in your life, but I am sure that what makes you successful now.
I enjoyed reading the book; I learned a lot about history and gained a new vocabulary.
The book had a deep meaning, I agree with you about” the pen is stronger than the sword”, also I think I will never forget this “If God wills, everything in the world will support you to make your dreams come true”
I carried the book with me all the time to read, whenever anyone will see the book they asked me about the content of the book, they were attracted by the cover. I proudly answered: “the author of the book is our doctor”, and they felt so interested to read it.
You mention in chapter 8 that “If the people remember me as a good teacher, that will be the biggest honor for me”
I believe we all did, I was enjoying your classes and you have a special Charisma.
I hope that our beloved Palestine will be liberated one day, and you will finish the last chapter by returning to your homeland.
I’m proud of this book, and I hope one day to have your signature in the book, and I wish for you the best and more success in your life…
Best Regards
Sumaia Ali
