The River Runs Salt, Runs Sweet gives a great story, of one’s point of view, experiencing a horrible life during the war. The River Runs Salt, Runs Sweet was written by a Muslim lady who goes by the name of Jasmina Dervisevic-Cesic. Jasmina grew up in Visegrad, a village in Bosnia, and after a horrific explosion, she had to come to the Americas for further medical treatment.
