Buried in My Heart is the story of a young Libyan woman (the author Sara Leptis is a pseudonym) who went to England for her formal education. When she graduated from university, she returned to her home city of Tripoli full of dreams and ambitions to face a bright future in her beloved homeland. Upon her return, Libya greeted her to face only tragedy, disaster, and deprivation when civil war broke out there in 2011.
This author gives us a gripping first-hand account of this tumultuous time in Libyan history. The author recounts how she fell in love with a man she met on the streets of her city before their world began to implode in the aftermath of the Arab Spring. She tells of her close relationships with Ambassador Chris Stevens and other members of the United States Embassy before that fateful day in Benghazi on September 11, 2011, and the devastating aftermath that followed.
This is a story of friends, family, and a country in crisis, and how a terrible civil war changed the fate of two lovers, along with their world. It is an eyewitness account of how a land that had been a peaceful, productive North African paradise became the impoverished, unstable war zone it remains today.
Buried in My Heart is a must-read for anyone interested in better understanding real-world love and loss in this highly-charged and tragic period in our 21st century.
