Eleven-year-old Zana enjoys her village life in Kosovo, even though she never feels entirely safe. Her family are Kosovo-born Albanians who are ruled by the Servian police and army. The Serbs want to destroy anyone who fights for an independent Kosovo. When bombs explode around Zana's village, her world fills with terror and tradgedy. Still, she remembers her father's words: "Don't let them fill your heart with hate." But the words are hard to recall when those who were her friends have become her enemies.
