About the Author:Īmmar Habib is a bestselling and award winning author who was born in Lake Jackson, Texas in 1993. It is about how humanity's strength often burns brightest during the darkest hours. Instead, this story is about the unbreakable spirit of humanity. Its aim is not to convince readers to support any faction or political party. This book is not about the politics of the Syrian Civil War or any other conflict. I hope that reading this will lead readers to have a greater understanding of the plight those in Syria face, as well as those in other war torn regions. In an over-politicized world, my wish is for this work to humanize those we call 'refugees'. Although the protagonist is fictitious, this novel accurately depicts the events that transpired in Aleppo during the summer of 2012. I am honored to have been able to write The Heart of Aleppo.
