In the heart of war-torn Iraq, where violence and uncertainty reigned, a chance encounter between a U.S. soldier and an Assyrian civilian sparked a love that would defy the chaos around them—and the odds that tried to tear them apart. The Thread That Held is the remarkable new memoir by Shawn and Nahrain Taylor, now available wherever books are sold.
Raised in the U.S. foster care system, Shawn Taylor found discipline and direction in the Army. On deployment in Iraq, his world shifted not during a firefight, but in a quiet moment with Nahrain, a courageous local woman working alongside American forces. When Nahrain's convoy was attacked and she vanished, Shawn was told she had died. Grief followed him home—until, more than a year later, a message changed everything.
In this gripping and deeply human story, The Thread That Held traces their journey from Baghdad’s shattered streets to distant continents, refugee camps, and the long road to reunion. Through heartbreak, sacrifice, and resilience, Shawn and Nahrain prove that love can outlast war, borders, and even death.
