Paperback. Condición: Very Good. THREE DAYS IN DAMASCUS is a memoir about a three-year fight for a chance at love with an Iraqi refugee the author met in Syria. While travelling to Jordan, Lebanon and Syria to interview Iraqi refugees and hear some of their stories, Kim never expected to fall in love with one of them. But that is exactly what happened. This is the story of one American woman and one Iraqi man set against the backdrop of the Iraqi refugee crisis. Through actual Iraqi refugee interviews, a whirlwind middle-eastern love story and the consequently doomed, intercontinental relationship told through texts and emails with civil war, revolution and an arranged marriage as the backdrop, we learn of culture and devastation, desperation and redemption, while still never losing hope. While there are roughly 65 million refugees worldwide, approximately five million Iraqis have been displaced from their homes since the U.S led invasion of their country, most of them fleeing to Jordan, Lebanon and Syria. Since Syria is currently in the midst of a violent civil war, the Iraqis there are left in an extremely dangerous position-- stuck between a rock and a hard place with nowhere to go. This timely memoir examines the lives of dozens of these Iraqi refugees trying desperately to survive in a world blind to their plight and one Iraqi in particular: Omar. Told through a strong narrative and a surprisingly comedic lens, the reader travels with the author through this unknown, sandy terrain breaking assumptions, stereotypes and expectations -- in a journey that ultimately ends in the most traditional assumption one could imagine: a Middle Eastern man agreeing to an arranged marriage. And after three years of trying to save Omar and salvage a life for/with him, she discovers maybe he wasn't the one who needed saving. This heartfelt memoir will take you into another world, as Kim and Omar meet and walk many of love's pathways. An American volunteer interviewing Iraqi refugees about the horrors of war, Kim falls in love with Omar, and thus begins a three-year odyssey. Chellie Campbell, author From Worry to Wealthy and The Wealthy Spirit. Kim's memoir is quite extraordinary in the way she brings you right up close, sometimes painfully, often with lots of laughs, to the situation of Iraqi refugees in Jordan, Lebanon and Syria.She notices things most of us would shy away from, and she tells the story so personally, you feel you are with her.The stories of loss are told with painful, and respectful detail, biding the request from one refugee to 'tell the whole story'. Kim tells the story of Omar, and discovers he is typical of most refugees. She learns a refugee's greatest desire is to go home, and when they do move, their culture moves with them. Sybella Wilkes, UNHCR Senior Communications Officer. Kim Schultz has written a searing love story set against the backdrop of a world tragedy: the plight of millions of refugees fleeing violence in the Middle East.It is a compelling read that will make you a look at world news in a different, more personal, way. Jim Michaels, author of A Chance in Hell: The Men Who Triumphed over Iraq's Deadliest City and Turned the Tide of War Kim Schultz has written an earnest and honest account of two people from opposite poles finding love and heartache in the long shadow of an unforgiving war. Her story is a spirited struggle against larger forces - bureaucracy, culture, religion, human displacement, and loss. Kirk W.

Estado de la sobrecubierta: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st. ed., 1st printing ; 305 p. ; 25 cm. ; SIGNED by author on title page ISBN 067943982X ; LCCN 95031552 ; LOC No PS3569.H39145 W66 1996 ; OCLC 32819757 ; blue cloth in pictorial dustjacket ; A Southern family saga featuring one protagonist, but many narrators. The protagonist is Harrison Durrance of Georgia and the narrators include a fellow cadet from West Point, his wife, his sister, his mistress, his children. In the course of portraying this one man from various and sometimes conflicting points of view, a family's history is told. A first novel ; The Wonder Book of the Air leads us through the lives of three generations in a Southern family. At the center is Harrison Durrance, who learns early that the nature of love is both transaction and transgression. As a young man he comes into his own during World War II, where he falls for the magic of flight and thrives on the danger of battle. He has become a man of undeniable magnetism, brash and vigorously optimistic. But when the war is over and he is back on the ground - in cold-war America - Harrison loses his bearings and catapults out of orbit. As his notions of the world begin to fail him and the people he claims to love fail to understand him, he sabotages his career, drinks to excess, and drives his family into emotional bedlam. But the story is not Harrison's alone. In Cynthia Shearer's arresting vision, the turbulence Harrison creates is woven into a canvas that captures the seismic shifts of history, of change, of forces that we try to name to protect ourselves from their randomness. In the wake of Harrison's terrifying-and-terrified behavior, we watch his children search for hope in the emotional wreckage and find some understanding of solace, compassion, and love. --Source: Publisher ; Cynthia Shearer is the former curator of Rowan Oak, the home of William Faulkner, and holds a M.A. in English from the University of Mississippi. She has been the recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship. ; bookplate of Decatur Book Festival volunteer David Neville (1951-2020) ; FINE/FINE. Signed by Author(s). Book.…
