USA TODAY bestselling author Alex Poppe describes how the power of stories, chance encounters, and embracing risk have changed her life.

Trading hipster Brooklyn for the wilds of Iraq, Alex found purpose, agency, resilience and belonging amidst war-weary students, humanitarian aid interventions, and man-made violence.
