My first book is on Amazon !

It highlights the story of my family's leaving Lebanon and making a life for us in South Carolina. It’s an easy, quick read which was well received as evidenced by its Amazon reviews. It will make you smile, may bring about a tear or trigger a beautiful buried memory of your own childhood.
