This week's editor's pick: Road to Damascus
This week's editor's choice is Road to Damascus, by Elaine Imady. The book is part can't-put-it-down love story, part cross-cultural insights, part parenting, and part a personal view of Syrian history. Written by the American wife of a foreign student at Columbia University who returned home to Damascus, American wife in tow, and became a beloved leading figure in the building of the financial world of Syria. This book provides an intriguing and rare look inside modern day Syria and a cross-cultural marriage that worked when so many others have failed.
Book 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.
