In 2009, American actress Kim Schultz traveled to the Middle East to work with refugees. She ended up falling in love with one of them and began a three year intercontinental romance just as civil war was breaking out in Syria. She tells her story and the stories of the other refugees she met in her book Three Days in Damascus.
Schultz joins us to talk about the refugee crisis and finding love in war.
