The novel My Gabriela, written by Sedigheh (Sisi) Asadi and edited and designed by Sepideh Zarrinpanah, is a narrative inspired by the author’s real-life experiences. With a psychological perspective and an intimate tone, it recounts stories of falling and rising again. The work is dedicated to all those brave individuals who sacrificed their lives for human ideals, including “Fahimeh,” the author’s sister. The novel tells the story of standing firm amid devastation and choosing life once more—of being wounded yet unbroken, grieving yet not remaining imprisoned in grief. It portrays a woman for whom migration is not merely a crossing of geographical borders, but a profound confrontation with inescapable memories and fundamental questions about meaning, identity, and perseverance. With honesty and courage, the author shares her lived strategies for overcoming hardship and moving toward a purposeful life. My Gabriela is a hopeful and deeply human narrative that can inspire readers who face loss, migration, and the ongoing process of rebuilding themselves.
