What would you do if a bomb exploded outside your house and you realized that your husband was targeted in a brutal ethnic cleansing? This was not just any war in which one mother found herself. It was a very personal war targeting her husband and his family. It was a war that was about to rip apart her life and for Davorka it became her war.

This story documents one motherÕs fight, then flight, for freedom from war. It follows her struggles to keep her family together and to provide her children with a hopeful future.
