Love in a Torn Land tells the true story of Joanna, a young bride living in the Kurdish mountains of Iraq. In 1987, Saddam Hussein ordered his cousin 'Chemical Ali' to bombard Joanna's village with chemical weapons. Temporarily blinded in the attack, Joanna was rescued by her husband, a Kurdish freedom fighter. After being caught in another bombardment and left for dead in the rubble, they managed to flee over the mountains in a harrowing escape. Now, Joanna lives in the UK and works for British Airways, and has told the story of her life to Jean Sasson.
Jean P. Sasson is an American writer whose work mainly centers around women in the Middle East.
