After the fall of ISIS, an eighteen-year-old Kurdish mother returns from captivity to her family in the windswept borderlands between Syria and Iraq — carrying with her a three-year-old son, born of rape. But her homecoming comes at a price: to be accepted, she must abandon the child.
Torn between suffocating tradition and the fierce pull of maternal love, she faces a brutal and irreversible choice: surrender her son, or defy her past and her people to protect a forbidden bond.
A quiet yet searing story of motherhood, memory, and the aching weight of survival in the ruins of war.
