Echo of My heart Memoir in poetry (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798295466632)

Echo of My Heart is a memoir in poetry - an intimate journey across continents, memory, and spirit. From the warmth of Algeria to the Olympic world stage and the vibrant streets of New York City, Sassa Aissou traces a life shaped by courage, identity, and the enduring pull of home.

These poems breathe with ancestral rhythm, the resilience of womanhood, and the quiet strength found in belonging to oneself. Each piece becomes both a prayer and a remembering - of heritage, of motherhood, of the love that travels with us no matter how far we roam.

Tender, luminous, and deeply human, Echo of My Heart is an invitation to return to the places that shaped us, to honor the voices that guide us, and to listen for the echoes that continue to call us home.

Sassa Aissou was born in Algeria and represented her homeland as an Olympian in the 2008 Beijing and 2012 London Games. Now based in New York, she brings her lifelong devotion to art, language, and movement into her work as a poet and visual artist. Bridging cultures, generations, and identities, she writes from the heart of a woman shaped by many worlds - yet rooted in one unshakeable truth: love endures.
