Hi, thank you so much for having me.
Yeah, so I first had the idea for this book eight years ago now, and it was something that, you know, even after just a few years of being an international reporter, I was struggling myself.
I had become kind of... Yeah, I was just seeing so much violence and cruelty, and at the same stage when I reported on crises, I'd also always see love.
Like, I see love every day doing this work, and I wanted to kind of...
just make sure that that was also being documented.
And so the book is a collection of nine different crises, nine different, you know, I call them a kind of love story.
It's not just romantic love.
It's love for family, love for community.
And yeah, just a reminder that even in crisis situations, that love is always present.
Yeah, so I actually left Lebanon on Thursday.
And yeah, from what we've seen, fighting is continuing.
And yeah, I mean, there's been many ceasefires that I've spoken to you on this show about before.
What's happening there is just devastating.
It's, you know, impossible to kind of describe the extent of the devastation, you know, both killing but also displacement.
And yeah, just people, you know, their lives being destroyed.
Yeah, this is the story of Bassam, who's a Lebanese man.
As people I'm sure know, there was before the current war, there was financial crisis and Lebanon has been through, you know, a massive series of crises.
The port explosion.
And yeah, what happened was that people's savings, everything that they had in the bank was seized or, you know, they just couldn't access it.
Yeah.
