Summary
When Nahlah Ayed was a child, her family gave up their comfortable life in Winnipeg for the squalor of a Palestinian refugee camp in Jordan. Back in Canada, as a teenager, she put these years behind her – until the Gulf War and the events of 9/11 drew her back as a war correspondent for the CBC.
