THE SELLER OF INCENSE
After that dreadful day Zahraa did not stay a seller of incense in need of money. She was no more expecting buyers. It was probably the first time she parted with those wishes.
It is a real life story about a young girl dreaming of her childhood, stolen from her by terrorists.
