In the game of chess, the queen, king, and their bishops, rooks and knights, control the power. The pawns are sacrificed at will. In the game of life, leaders become adept at stealing territory, sapping the wealth and sacrificing the weak. Might makes right.This is a story of a child born in Syria. The tale begins in the current time of history, (2019). Living by instinct, this child can survive the deadly gases, the painful hunger, and the loneliness of life with no family to protect her, no religion or creed to direct her, and no land to call her own.In a lifelong resiliency of spirit, this girl becomes a woman who not only survives, but succeeds in finding a family, security and a better life for others.Siri Ann begins her life with unknown heritage, unknown family, and vastly unknown potential. Her willingness to serve others is the key to the many leadership roles she plays in America, Syria and the world.Much of the time, the queen, the king and the knights, die without discovering their purpose on earth. At times, a lowly pawn learns the lesson early and becomes a master.
