I herewith mention my relatives my aunts specifically my late mother who introduced me to this beautiful village in order to widens my scope of knowledge about their lifestyle and the way my ancestors had lived at early times in this place.
In this regard ,I sincerely address this novel to the vivid spirit of my late mother Yevonne FAWAZ Cozma who has been always motivating me to write anything that can ignite at heart the drive for a real change thereby motivating everybody who has financial hindrances to struggle and thrive viscously in order to change his own life rather than surrendering to his miserable doomed destiny.
