"Flight of the Dragonfly" by Melissa Hawach

The remarkable true story about Melissa and her 2 daughters, Hannah and Cedar. She and her husband Joe have been separated for 10 months when she gives him permission to take their 2 daughters on a 3 week vacation to Australia to visit his family. 4 days before the girls are due back in Calgary, Joe stops communicated with Melissa, and she has no idea where he's taken their girls. She finally finds out the girls are in Lebanon, a war torn country in the Middle East. Thus begins the 6 month journey of Melissa fighting for her daughters. An incredible story of a mother trying to get her girls back. I found this to be well written, easy to read - a truly fascinating story.
