Meanwhile, Layla's family is faced with a difficult decision about kidney
transplantation. Their friendship is put to the test when these medical crises
reveal stark differences in their perspectives...until revolutionary unrest in Egypt
changes their lives forever.The first book in a new series, Lissa brings
anthropological research to life in comic form, combining scholarly insights and
accessible, visually-rich storytelling to foster greater understanding of global
politics, inequalities, and solidarity.
