Moments and Souls - Paperback

by Hala Nelson (Foreword by), Hala Nelson (Editor), Rasha A. Chehade (Author)

This book is a series of short stories, moments, and souls, inspired by real tales that are woven in a way that captures parts of Lebanon's history and captivates our emotions all at the same time. The candid accounts and parables in these pages convey a natural sense of acceptance of the human soul with all its flaws, the cycles of life, the truth of time, and the power of nature. There is sadness and happiness, polygamy and infidelity, birth and re-birth, even blood, but also love- true, deep, furious, and raw love. Lebanon is a land of tales, passion, beauty, and contradiction. Rasha's moments and souls witness the ancient Phoenician times, the Ottoman times, the First and Second World Wars, the Lebanese civil war, and our modern times. This is a treasure from Lebanon where we can find ourselves basking in a sea of uninhibited feelings, accompanying the characters on their journeys, unleashing our own carefree passions, tears, thoughts, and laughs.
