The Old Stonemason: A journey from Lebanon to America. Bridging cultures, worlds and generations

Karam Mishalani

A coming of age story, set in the vibrant, golden age of Lebanon, a young fatherless boy grows under the care of his wise grandmother and a weathered old stonemason.

But as Lebanon's civil war erupts, his journey shifts, marked by the harsh realities of a nation in conflict.

Transformed by nationalism, war and a growing sense of disillusionment, he makes a daring leap and seizes a chance to migrate to America, where he encounters a new world, with a new culture, and new possibilities.

An evocative story of love, family, country, loss, and the unyielding spirit that bridges worlds and generations.
