Book Jewel of the Month: Road to Damascus (E. Imady) - Inspiring and honest
What is a book jewel? A sometimes-overlooked book with remarkable insight and potential significance. Each month, we share near-daily, or as often as possible, reviews of the monthly book jewel - short, succinct reviews that can be read in 1-2 minutes with links to the reviewer by reviewers whose words are worthy of being heard and whose opinions are worthy of being considered. Sometimes a couple of minutes contains more impressive thought than ten times that many. We will let you decide that.
This month's book jewel is Road to Damascus by Elaine Imady.
Description:
Recommended by US Review of Books and First Runner-Up in the Eric Hoffer Awards legacy competition, Road to Damascus describes the Middle Eastern journey of an American who meets and falls in love with a Syrian when they are both attending school in New York. Giving up her country and her religion to follow her husband back to Syria, Elaine Imady has made a life that has successfully bridged two cultures and two continents. Raising three bi-cultural, bilingual children, Elaine has important insights to offer to readers from either the West or the Middle East about how we can all not only get along with each other but learn to love each other. Her life is symbolic of the best of what can be when two cultures come together.
RECOMMENDED by the US Review of Books
Amazon review by Alnoor F. Alnoor -
Inspiring and honest!
"Very inspiring and honest. It is educational in the sense that it demonstrates how love, understanding, and mutual tolerance can bring the West and East to co-exist in harmony. As such, it provides a concept far much deeper than a merely family saga."
