About Immigrated: A Memoir
Product Description From the Author of one of the best Bosnian War books of all time. At the age of 19 and newly married, fleeing from her native country and still haunted by her demons from the Bosnian War, Nadija struggles to adapt to the completely different culture of the USA. Immigrant life cannot protect her from her abusive marriage, which magnifies and extends her war trauma. Isolated and lonely, she learns new life lessons, making many mistakes along the way. Can she face her war demons head on and rise above the horrors of her past to start afresh? Immigrated is an inspiring, poignant and occasionally humorous story of one young woman's determination to achieve the happiness she deserves in the wake of a doubly devastating past. Written with painful honesty.....the rudiments of editing is a gentle way to protect the reader from experiencing (to a presumably bearable degree) the emotional pain and sequel associated first from the eye of a young, bright, contrite adolescent in the middle of an absurd conflict, and then after, from the now mature thinking of a war survivor who knows very well she is fortunate in ways not a typical individual would be. As a therapist who uses the devices of psychoanalysis to conceptually approach work, it is remarkable how the writer allows carefully the primary process of her own "stuff" to become "available" for the reader, and the reader be able to sit with it. -- Victor D., clinical psychologist Review This story is one of triumph in the worst of circumstances and an example of human determination. [Mujagic] writes well and I was drawn to finish [the book] quite quickly. -- Doreen, BookSirens reviewer A profoundly moving story of people who are brought up during a war and the unimaginable horrors they witness and how they need positive understanding people around them and professional help to heal and move on with life. - Kathleen, BookSirens reviewer I learned about the trauma left within the survivors of war from [Mujagic's] own account rather than from a textbook. Immigrated is not a war memoir; nor a textbook. It does however recount some of the challenges faced by people who endured war and those faced by people willing [to] choose to become a resident in another land and/or culture. - Jean, Goodreads reviewer I would certainly recommend reading Immigrated to anyone who wants a better understanding of how PTSD affects war survivors... -- Stephanie, Goodreads reviewer About the Author Nadija Mujagić is the author of the Teenage War Survival series, two memoirs on war survival, human resilience and determination.
