On August 16, 2013, my beloved husband Amr Kassem was shot and killed by the Egyptian military for attending a peaceful anti-coup protest in Alexandria, Egypt. The weeks and months that followed were the most difficult and challenging of my life.
A Temporary Gift is a book of my personal reflections that have given me comfort and have reminded me that beyond the pain and darkness of loss there is still the potential of light in patience and constancy...
Please take a moment to support this important project by contributing what you can!
With your generous contribution, you will help this book's message of hope and renewal reach the hands and hearts of other women and men who are saddled with grief or silently suffering through loss.
Your contribution will also help me spread awareness of the mass injustices that have taken place (and continue to take place) in Egypt, and keep the memory of my husband alive.
By choosing one of the packages in the right column on this page, you'll be pre-ordering your copy of A Temporary Gift and helping me fund my first print run. Please contribute whatever amount you can!
A Temporary Gift will be published by Ruqaya's Bookshelf. (Click here if you'd like to see a sample of the book.)
