Cucina and Famiglia by Joan Tucci
What can you do if youve been traumatized? How can you get back to a normal life? How long before your pain goes away? Are you becoming addicted to the painkillers and medication that are being given to you as part of treatment? Are you a doctor or hoping to become one but never had a patient who had been in a bomb explosion or similar tragedies? If those are your questions, this book has all those answers, including lessons from the doctors. This memoir shares the story of one young womans shattered dreams when she was seriously injured in a car bombing in Ethiopia. When author Nimo Omar, also known Fathi, left Ethiopia in 2006, she was excited to forge a new life in the United States. Even though she talked to her father by phone, Omar missed him and planned a visit in 2013. Before she could greet her father in person, Omar was seriously injured. Her life was changed forever when a bomb placed under the truck she was riding in exploded. In Crushed Dreams, she tells her story. This is a story of perseverance, and Omar narrates her long journey to recovery. She shares how she dealt with the pain and trauma and how she underwent many surgeries as she was determined to walk again, return to school, and make a difference in the world with her education. Nimo Omar was born in the small village of Garloguba in Ethiopia. She moved to the United States in 2006. She graduated from high school in Nebraska and attended St. Paul College, in St. Paul, Minnesota, and graduated in 2017 in Metro-State University, where she continues to live.| SKU | Unavailable |
