In a quiet German town, 17-year-old Noura, a Syrian refugee, struggles to piece her life together after fleeing the horrors of war. Trapped in a world of poverty, an abusive family, and societal prejudice, her only escape is a tattered notebook where she writes stories of hope. But when she meets Lukas, a middle-class German boy with a passion for photography, her world begins to shift.

Drawn together by their shared love of art and their search for meaning in a divided world, Noura and Lukas embark on a secret relationship that defies cultural barriers. As their connection deepens, so do the challenges: Lukas faces judgment from his friends, and Noura confronts the wrath of her family, who view their love as betrayal.

When a violent confrontation forces their two worlds to collide, Noura must make an impossible choice-stay bound to her family and the traditions that have shaped her, or risk everything for a chance at freedom and love.

Noura is a gripping and heart-wrenching story of resilience, forbidden love, and the courage to bridge divides in a world fractured by fear and hate. Perfect for fans of The Kite Runner and The Hate U Give, this novel will stay with you long after you turn the last page.
