“I was born in a land rich in culture, family, and tradition yet marked by strife and recurring conflict throughout its long history. During my youth, our country was engulfed in civil war and suffered under prolonged occupation. These were difficult and volatile times. There were days filled with uncertainty, years shadowed by instability. Yet even amid insecurities, our home was grounded in faith, love, and encouragement.”
So begins Fadi P. Deek’s remarkable memoir, Portrait of an Expatriate: A Lebanese-American Story. The author describes his childhood in Byblos, the modern-day city of Jbeil—swimming in the Mediterranean Sea, skiing in the hills of Mount Lebanon, secure in the love of his father, mother, and four brothers. This world begins to unravel with the emergence of foreign armed groups on Lebanese soil, eventually leading to a devastating civil war that lasted from 1975 to 1990. Deek leaves his beloved home midway through the war to complete his higher education in the United States. Now, more than four decades later, he offers a personal history, a reminiscence of the world he left behind and the story of the life he created in America with his wife, Maura, as he pursued a career as a scholar and academic leader. He concludes with a heartfelt letter to his young grandchildren, offering them a message of hope as they begin their own journeys.
