Lydia's Journey

Ten-year-old Lydia's life is upended in 1915 when soldiers storm her village at the start of the Armenian Genocide. Separated from her parents and younger brother, Lydia is marched from her home in Zeitun, through the desert, and into Syria. She's sold into slavery, and endures years of captivity. When her orphanage arranges her marriage, she emigrates to England, only to find herself in London during the World War II bombing. Inspired by family history and supported by extensive research, Lydia' story is a harrowing but ultimately reassuring story of resilience, faith, and survival.
