There is a wicked truth behind Marwa's separation from her family. Innocent but brave, will she survive the fire, that burns away buds before they can bloom?

{The horse halted suddenly and she held the baby tighter}
{Blood seeped through the little girl's curls, as she whispered something in Arabic.}
{Marwa wondered if she would have been different if her family was alive.}

An evil that lives on even today. Foetus to old woman. Pain inside out- but one Truth that triumphs over it all- ready to unravel it?

-Buried alive,
Tormented when she survived.
Why was her life,
Thought inferior and not sublime?-
