Aisa Softic's book, Finding Home in the Seven Hills, is an interesting and witty book that tells about Aisa’s life after relocating to the United States. She experienced probation and anguish when trying to learn a new dialect and begin again after a prosperous life and vision in Bosnia-Herzegovina. Aisa's experience as a refugee in Belgrade was filled with memories of past travels; her life’s paths were often made of dirt and gravel, very rarely smooth, and full of potholes, contributing to her struggles and frustrations. As a result, she lived a life of discontent and struggled to adjust to her new life with her family when she planned to become a native of the United States. Read this book to learn more about Aisa's journey and story.

The book was breathtaking when I plunged into the story. The writer brilliantly displays sincerity and hilarity to convey the difficulty of learning how to speak a new dialect. Aisa’s attainments were frankly stunning. The author’s explanations are uplifting, encouraging, pleasing, and touching. Another point that pleases me is her diligent spirit. When she applied for a part-time homemaker position at the Mary Jane Nursing Registry because her family did not have sufficient money for their upkeep, her excellent spirit enabled her to get the job. She was so diligent, which made her get good reports from customers. As a result, she earned subsequent opportunities from her boss, Mary Jane, to clean the house in Loveland, Indian Hill, Jennifer's house, etc.

The outlines in the book are eminent. This book taught me that there is no substitute for work; beneficial results come through hard work and careful planning. Extraction from the book shows that Aisa’s desire, treasure, and passion are easily seen. The book also emphasizes the law of karma, according to which we rise by rendering good support in helping other people achieve their aspirations in life, and by doing so, we will also be great in life.

The locus that somewhat debilitated me was her fearful and ignorant nature when working as a cleaner in Jennifer's house in Indian Hill; she ignorantly pressed the window button in the house, which caught the police's attention, which made her so scared and confused, thinking that she would go to jail. I expected her to ask questions about the facilities in that house and know how they operate rather than make assumptions about them.

The book was magnificent in each character's depiction and associated me with their emotions. However, I award it a rating of 4 out of 5 stars because of the abovementioned dislikes. On the other hand, the book was professionally edited and also a pleasure to peruse.

After a meticulous and comprehensive study of the book, I highly recommend it to young minds yearning for big visions in life, company employees, and parents who have lost hope.

This is an interesting review and one I can easily relate to. Indeed hard work always pays off in the long end. Intrigued to read this book to see how Aisa maneuvered in her life journey in a new place. Congratulations on the review.

[Chris Rich Nwaka]

Aisa is my favorite in this book. Her determination to succeed in a stronger land is what piques my interest because even during the difficult time she was determined. Good job.

[Oyedeji Funmilayo]

Giving up isn't an option but holding it up too isn't an easy one. I'm happy for Aisha that her story can inspire a lot of people.

[Boluwatife Ade Aderogbin]

One attitude that can help someone overcome so many obstacles in life is diligence towards life itself. While we choose a field to focus on, we must do it diligently. This is an attribute I admire Aisa for.

[Kelly Peter]

The plot of this book piqued my interest and you gave it a wonderful review I look forward to reading this book. Good review.

[Max Tiffany]

Aisa although naive and found speaking a new language difficult, didn't relent on that but with her attitude to work, diligence, and dedication, she was able to sustain herself and her family. Nice review!

[Mercy Udeokeke]

This is a heart-touching story portraying the life of Aisa. Her struggle to adapt to a new environment and the different hurdles she faced. Thanks for the insightful review.

[Temi Book]

This is a heartwarming story of Aisa. It can be quite challenging to learn languages that you don’t know before. And without learning this language, ot will be hard to get a job. Her diligence is truly admiring.

[Oluwa Tomisin]

It's not easy to be a refugee and having discontent with one's life can be terrible.
This book has a good plot and thank you for your take on it

[Jay Alex]

It is not an easy thing living one's natural home and going to another place to start a new life entirely. I am proud of Aisa and that she was able to put her story into writing. Welldone.

[Maltida Jane]

Asia was able to put her story to writing which is lovely. Have big to live your you place of birth to start a new life some where else is not easy at all. So many challenges would be awaiting. This book is good

[EBERE WRITES COCEPT]

Aisa Softic's journey from Bosnia-Herzegovina to the United States, and her experiences as a refugee in Belgrade, provide a compelling backdrop for her story. It's a testament to the resilience of individuals in the face of adversity.

[Alex Lynn]

I'm actually a lover of memoir, especially one which deals with travel experience of expatriates. A lot can be learnt from their living as a foreigner in foreign countries.
