Rom Like Thunder Hedina Tahirovic Sijercic

Hedina Tahirovic Sijercic, Bosnia-Herzegovina's first Romani journalism graduate and a former Radio-TV Sarajevo host and producer, writes with raw and sometimes shocking honesty about growing up Romani in pre-war Sarajevo. "Rom like Thunder" is a memoir of both father and daughter, of life's joys and sorrows, of poverty and daily struggle in a Sarajevan Romani mahala, and the very real story of a young Romani girl's determination and drive to rise beyond everyone else's foregone conclusions about her destiny.
