Excellent picture of Lebanese in the "new world"

Emily Nasrallah paints a wonderful picture that I'm sure any Lebanese immigrant can relate to -- what it is like to come from Lebanon and see family and cope with the changes -- grandparents unable to communicate with grandchildren due to language and culture barriers, parents and children, brothers and sisters. I recommend this not just to people of Lebanese background, but to anybody wanting to know what it is like to leave their homeland and come to a whole new culture.
