While reading about a twelve year old boy and seeing his world through his innocent eyes I felt somewhat conflicted. I was sad, angry yet hopeful. What was it like for you to write about Young Ahmed?

It has been a very emotional journey. My time in Jerusalem was the worst part of my life and having to relive that nightmare in order to try and show people the type of things I learned and witnessed in order to shine a light was difficult to say the least. On the other hand, people are responding to my message so I am thrilled about that.
