Official synopsis Publisher
Bahia accepted the exciting offer of a job in the sun without hesitation, feeling truly on top of the world, even secretly hoping it would change her life forever. She embraced the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity wholeheartedly, blissfully unaware of the traumatic time in store for her in that far-away land, and how much it would turn her whole world upside down.
How could her dream shatter into a million pieces and leave her so utterly broken?
After years desperately chasing an elusive justice on foreign soil, this book is her way of continuing her fight by sharing her story with the world and exposing the appalling treatment she endured from the apathy of the state authorities to the deceitful termination of her employment. The Tears Behind the Dream is the raw, deeply moving and colourful account of her painful struggle, with subtle flashes of humour despite the troubling context. Just as importantly, it is also her way of honouring the promise she made to her female Libyan friends that her fight would also be theirs…
But above all, The Tears Behind the Dream is the inspiring and uplifting story about the sweeping power of forgiveness in the midst of fear and helplessness that led Bahia towards the path of acceptance, healing and, ultimately, inner peace.
