“Book Descriptions:A vivid love letter to the 1980s and one woman’s struggle to overcome the challenges of immigration
It’s 1986, and Muna Heddad is in a bind. She and her son have moved to Montreal, leaving behind a civil war filled with bad memories in Lebanon.

Even as her daily life in Canada is filled with invisible barriers at every turn, at the office Muna is privy to her clients’ deepest secrets.” DRIVE
