Waiting for Beirut

A portrait of the Lebanese-American community in the early1950's, immigrant assimilation experience over generations, and evocative food culture, this story also explores the tragic tension of a great love that society cannot allow. Against the backdrop of early 1950's Connecticut and Lebanon, Waiting for Beirut is an account of the suffering of a man who is not allowed to follow his heart and the wreckage caused by broken dreams.
