How Well Do We Know Our Enemies?
“Would we think differently of the people our nation calls our enemies, if we knew, in detail, the circumstances that had caused them to become the people they are and if we could see them as individuals with joys and sorrows just like us?
And if we did think differently, what tragedies around the globe might be averted?”
This is the main theme explored in my novel “A Measure of my Love” – a work of literary fiction set in Ottoman-era Turkey. It is a story of forgiveness and the triumph of the heart over intolerance and fear.
A Measure of my Love - Writing to Reach Out
I’ve always wanted my writing to go beyond the bookshelves and inspire others to open doors for those who don’t have access to those things we take for granted.
The '1,000 stories' project is my vision of how writing can reach out.
