“And yet, they keep moving. They rock their babies through airstrikes. They tell stories while hiding their tears. They pretend to believe in a future so their children will, too.” A Different Kind of Motherhood by Diana Shams shares these moments of courage, love, and hope. Support the author by reading her e book and sharing her story. 

Kutubna Cultural Center is delighted to host a special book discussion, led by Tamreez Inam, in collaboration with the Writing Women Book Club. Together, we will explore A Different Kind of Motherhood — a powerful new work by Palestinian author Diana Shams, who recounts her experiences raising children in Gaza through fire, hunger and fear.

The book has been recently featured in The Guardian. For those who would like to join the session, A Different Kind of Motherhood by Diana Shams is available as an ebook.
