NERMINA'S CHANCE: TIMELY NOVEL REVEALS BOSNIA'S WOUNDS OF WAR

WILMINGTON, N.C., Feb. 24, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- After her family is murdered and she is raped by Serbian soldiers, Nermina Beganović's only chance of survival is to flee her Bosnian homeland during the Balkan Wars circa 1992. NERMINA'S CHANCE delivers a powerful work of historical fiction and a cogent warning: history repeats itself.

This timely novel explores the refugee experience and the proliferation of intergenerational trauma in the aftermath of war. The narrative begins with the brutal siege of Sarajevo, soon after the break-up of Yugoslavia and Bosnia's declaration of independence.

Detailing war crimes thirty years in the past, this narrative is equally urgent today. Now, once again, Bosnian citizens (and those across the diaspora) face an escalating crisis of genocide denial, nationalism, and the eerily familiar threats of ethnic cleansing.

"Nermina's Chance makes a case for the positive role of refugees in our society. Those parlor patriots who speak so glibly of a second 'Civil War' need to read this book to see just what that would mean." 

Ben Steelman, Star News/Gannett Media
