The Young Terrorist: Journey from Arab Militant to Proud American follows Nabil, a Lebanese Christian boy swept into the chaos of Middle Eastern wars. At eleven, he joins a militia for protection, witnessing violence and loss that shape his early life. Fleeing Lebanon’s civil war, he eventually reaches the U.S. on a student visa, where culture shock, poverty, and hope collide. This gripping memoir traces his path from desert battlefields to American classrooms, revealing how one young man escaped a world of hatred to discover freedom—and himself.

In Veiled Horizons, Mary Khouri leaves behind a comfortable life in Washington, D.C., for the cloaked world of the Arab Gulf. Amid terrorist attacks, illness, and cultural divides, she discovers generosity, faith, and a deeper sense of self. Spanning 17 transformative years, this memoir is a powerful story of courage, connection, and finding home across two very different worlds.

Part adventure, part love story, and part spiritual quest, Veiled Horizons is an intimate portrait of one woman’s search for belonging across two very different worlds.
