Event Description
Salma Abdelnour was just nine years old when, in July of 1981, with the echo of rocket blasts in their ears, her parents grabbed her and her brother, flew them out of a bloody, civil-war-ripped Lebanon, and planted them in a quiet, safe place between the endless green lawns of suburban Houston. Now, nearly thirty years later, testing a lifelong hunch that Lebanon was still her real and true home—the place where, as an Arab, a Beiruti, she'd never feel like a stranger the way she sometimes still did in America—Salma returned.
