Join Kim Schultz, as she reads an excerpt and signs copies from her newly-released memoir, "Three Days in Damascus".Â
C. Eduardo Vargas, Senior Associate, International Center for Religion & Diplomacy will host the evening and will be joined by Erik Gustafson, the Executive Director of EPIC(Education for Peace in Iraq Center).Â
In this harrowing true story, Ms. Schultz recounts her time volunteering in Syria, where she unexpectedly fell in love with an Iraqi refugee. What follows is an epic, unquestionably relevant story of culture, devastation, redemption and hope.
With roughly 65 million refugees worldwide including approximately five million Iraqis displaced from their homes since the U.S. led invasion, this urgent, moving and often humorous memoir examines the lives of dozens of Iraqi refugees, including one named Omar, trying desperately to survive in a world blind to their plight. Breaking assumptions, stereotypes and expectations, the author fights for Omar in a whirlwind Middle Eastern romance and subsequent three-year intercontinental, internet relationship in the shadow of a revolution.
