Bitter Almonds

Omar is an orphaned Palestinian born into chaos, who only has one thing to hold on to: a love that propels him forward and gives him hope. Nadia is maturing into womanhood in a refugee community in Damascus. Can she cope with the tough realities of her world and break out of her traditional social mold to create her own destiny? Heart-breaking and moving, Bitter Almonds is about displacement and exile, family duty and honor, and the universal feelings of love and loss.
