Occupied: From Manuscript to Amazon Bestseller
Raleigh, NC – Waleed and Hannah Hamzah’s memoir, Occupied, is not just a powerful narrative of war, redemption, and true freedom—it’s a testament to the transformative journey of a story brought to life with a little help from BravoBay Books. Originally unsure how to publish their deeply personal account, the Hamzah duo approached BravoBay with their manuscript. With our expert guidance, the book evolved through rigorous editing, meticulous formatting, and was transformed into stunning paperback, hardback, and Kindle eBook editions.
Occupied follows Waleed Hamza, an Iraqi college student thrust into the chaos of the 2003 US invasion. As he partners with the US Special Forces as a translator, the decisions he makes set off a chain of events that lead to betrayal, heart-wrenching loss, and ultimately, a transformative encounter with the redemptive power of Jesus. This gripping memoir challenges readers to reconsider what true freedom really means.
