What do you do when the land you love is caught up in a seemingly endless war? Do you stay or do you leave? Do you lose yourself in anonymity, hoping shrapnel or flying concrete will never find you or yours? Or do you find the will to go on with encouragement from friends in the same predicament as you? Do you leave or do you stay? These are questions that Samer and Nayla, young and very much in love, must find answers to as they live from one day to the next in their beloved, but ravaged, war torn Beirut. Will they?

This review is from: The Lost I (Kindle Edition)

"Almost all novels (and movies) about wars feature soldiers. What is so unique and remarkable about this war novel is that it's about civilians, noncombatants, people caught by chance in the crossfire of combatants. That the author shows in gut ranching detail how this psychic hurrucane sweeps through the lives of these innocent people makes this novel a gem. The author also does a beautiful of showing how this couple's love is impacted by the nearness of Death. Nayla must find a way out of her shell, or she might die without clarifying some very important things with Samer. That aspect adds to the power of this novel. So, not only do we have an external war blasting away around us as we read, but we also have Nayla's internal suffering as she struggles out of her cultural and/or shell of shyness. Well I can't say enough good things about the story itself, nor about how adaptly the author has sequenced the story events and magnified the key events. It's been a terrific experience reading this." R.G. (Writer's Digest)
