Description: Exactly one year after arriving in 1951 as a student in the USA, Elie Salem met a young American woman with whom he was to fall in love. She became his wife and went back to live in her husband's homeland as an American yet, when she died, as his brother would tell him, she died a Lebanese. For well over half a century, as her husband pursued a highly successful career as an academic, politician and statesman, his wife Phyllis would always be there, by his side. And this moving account tells the story.
