In her book, she shares with us her spiritual journey through tremendous personal trials and the fifteen years of civil strife she endured in the light of the more recent Israeli invasion in 2006. Readerswill also gain a deeper knowledge and understanding of the Lebanese nation and its people as well as the pain and suffering they have endured in modern times and throughout history. Her insight comes from first hand experience—sometimes humorous, but more often sad—and personal testimonies as she witnessed the tragedies created by a senseless war. She also shares a personal revelation that arose from her struggles, in the hope that it will help many who read her story to heal from within and to realize they were destined to be victorious.view less
