Friends,
I just returned from an event that the Chaldean American Ladies of Charity put on. There must have been at least 600 people there...

Anyway, so there I am, sitting with my cousin selling "liveCHALDEAN" bracelets (http://www.livechaldean.com) when I look over and see the author of The Feminine Art sitting right there with a stack of books!

So, I went over and talked to her and bought a book, and I have to say that I truly feel that this book, and the several others that she will be releasing in the near future (she has been working on them for 13 years) are going to give our community such wide and badly needed public recognition... she is going to be touring the country at bookstores and libraries and her book is going on sale nationwide soon. With Iraq being in the spotlight and this being written in such beautiful English, I think a lot of Americans will be getting an interesting look at our CHALDEAN community.

I recommend that you all buy this book...and all of the others that she will be publishing.


===================
"For the first time in literary history, a Chaldean American novelist emerges to portray the descendants of ancient Mesopotamia, now called Iraq, where literature, school, law a map of the world, and the idea of dividing time and space in multiples of 60 was first found. The forgotten people who invented writing, science and astronomy, the ancestors of modern day Iraq are presented here by Weam Namou through a deeply personal story based on true events.

Set in America and the Middle East in the early 1990’s, The Feminine Art is the story of Suham, a married woman who distracts herself from boredom by trying to find her nephew, Michael, a wife. The perfect bride happens to be in Baghdad. As the arranged wedding takes a shape of its own, Suham and Michael are challenged to face the truths within themselves that had been kept hidden behind tradition and illusion."
