Talia, 16 'Many of Deborah's stories moved me to tears. The authenticity of these voices is shattering.' - author, Hanifa Deen, Member of the Australian Arabic Council 'Here is one wish: That each time political leaders and actors in the region decide upon a significant course of action, they first read a few chapters from Deborah Ellis's moving testimony.'- Dr Geoffrey Brahm Levey, Senior Lecturer in Politics and International Relations, University of New South Wales
