A Beirut Heart
In 1969, Cathy Sultan fulfills her dream of living abroad, moving with her Lebanese husband and two infants to Beirut—cosmopolitan, beautiful, and dangerously seductive. She comes to love the city like a dysfunctional lover, even as civil war erupts in 1975. Using cooking as calm amid chaos, she fights to keep home life comforting and hospitable while bullets strike her kitchen and bombs shatter the city. A Beirut Heart is her gripping story of preserving family and humanity in war.
There is nothing like an intelligent woman, spouse and mother of small children, to carry one into the midst of war, with its horrors as well as its capacity for soul-building,,, Her narrative enfleshes our disjointed news of the Middle East.

Albert Park
Step into the mind of Albert Park, an unreliable narrator who turns his guilt-ridden life into a surreal, thrice-told fairytale of tragic misadventures, haunting memories, and elusive truths. From abandoned orphan to scheming life coach to world-famous neurosurgeon (or so he claims), Albert spins a charming, contradictory tale riddled with dubious recollections and denial of his role in cascading calamities. Darkly funny and deeply moving, Albert Park: A Memoir in Lies probes guilt, identity, and redemption—and the stories we tell ourselves to survive.
Koefod’s masterful tale is a portrait of our times: a modern picaresque novel that examines the nature of truth, lies and memory.
