As war rages in her beloved homeland and her husband is taken away to fight in it, a young mother faces the most difficult decision of her life which of her two precious daughters can she save... and which must she sacrifice.This is the story of one mothers heroic struggle to rescue her family from the clutches of uncertainty and oppression.There is a proverb in my native Tigrinya language, both warning and admonishment.

For a while, it seems her dreams are within reach.But soon, new threats arise, coming from old enemies, as well as new. Her husband is forcibly taken off the street to fight another war, and her oldest daughter is diagnosed with a lifethreatening heart defect. With the borders sealed shut, an increasingly paranoid government resorting ever more to violence and suppression, and medical treatment unavailable incountry, her only remaining option to save her daughters life might not be so viable after all. For even if the government allows her to leave, doing so could end up shattering more lives than it saves.Relentless is the powerful memoir of a wife and mother who refused to compromise and instead defied one of the worlds most corrupt and murderous regimes, and after decades of personal struggle and sacrifice finally found peace and redemption. A heartbreaking story for the ages with an inspiring outcome that celebrates the strength, determination, and heroism of women everywhere.Relentless is part of the Dreams of Freedom collection, stories of resilience from Eritrea, the small wartorn nation known as the North Korea of Africa.
