A Thousand Small Fires

A deathbed letter forces Chicago architect Nabil Karam to confront the lie he's carried since childhood—that his best friend chose to stay behind when his family fled war-torn Beirut. Now, twenty-nine years later, the truth about that night demands he return to a city he barely recognizes and face the boy he abandoned. What Nabil discovers will shatter everything he believed about his father, his family, and himself.
