Anya lived in Syria for eleven years; her whole life actually. But the last few years had been scary for everyone. Her country was at civil war, and situations are only getting worse. She heard that a nearby city named Ghouta had been bombed with a horrible gas called sarin. Her parents, city, and all of Syria are getting antsy, so when her city is attacked, that's when her family draws the line. They are driven out of Syria to a refugee camp in Lebanon, where they will wait until the war is over.
