The Struggle Continues
Through a cast of international characters, this compelling story traces a Palestinian refugee family through a decade of violence and conflict in and around Lebanon in the 1970’s, against a backdrop of upheaval in the Middle East, contentious debate at the United Nations, and challenging peacekeeping operations.

With a gripping plot and dynamic characters, The Struggle Continues transports readers into the heart of the Lebanese-Palestinian conflict of the period. It reminds people of the pain of personal loss and displacement, and the ultimate cost of warfare.
