Description
This inspiring true story follows a young Yemeni American from San Francisco who sets out to revive Yemen’s centuries-old coffee tradition and introduce its distinctive flavors to the world. His ambitious journey takes him from the coffee shops of California to the mountains and marketplaces of Yemen, where political upheaval and civil war place his dream—and his safety—in jeopardy. Blending entrepreneurship, cultural history, and high-stakes adventure, the book explores identity, resilience, and the power of honoring one’s heritage. It is a vivid, deeply human account of pursuing an unlikely dream in the face of extraordinary obstacles.
