Goodbye Sarajevo - Atka Reid

A very personal story of the siege of Sarajevo and its effect on a family.  Told from two perspectives.  First, the story of the parents, children, and grandparents that remain trapped in Sarajevo for a  good part of the siege.  Second, the story of the three girls who manage to leave, and their life as young refugees in Croatia.  The three girls are all under 20; the youngest is 13 at the beginning.  The story of how they all end up reunited in New Zealand is very touching.  A good personal account - puts a human face on all of this, though through luck, they manage to avoid most of the death and tragedies that touched most families in Sarajevo at that time.
