"I Am Here, I Did Not Die" is a novel that tells our story... it tells of our lives, our struggles, our successes, and our setbacks during the period between 1990 and 2014. Twenty-five years passed over Syria and its surrounding Arab countries, during which its people tasted both sweetness and patience. Many concepts changed while others endured, the most important of which are: the concept of family, belonging, coexistence, Arabism, and Islam.

It is a novel that narrates stories of deep love, brilliant success, and failure. It is a novel that tells stories of the homeland, then moving away from it and searching for a new one. A novel about the love for Damascus, then hating it, then loving it again.
