Promise To Come Back (ePub)

During the Iran-Iraq war that raged for more than eight years, Emad Shamon, a civilian and technician, finds himself drafted into the army outside his will and must face the horrors of war.

In an era of disaster where his fellow brothers of war may be killed at any point in time, a time where the victims of war are not only the young men who are fighting but also the mothers, wives and children who wait dearly for the arrival of their loved ones. In the chaos of war, where faith in God is all one can hold on to, Emad befriends an army officer who changes his life forever and falls in love with a woman who loves him more than he could ever have imagined.

Throughout his journey, the war brings on inconsiderable destruction and steals more lives from Emad than he could have ever thought possible. Will Emad give in to the fear and despair that comes with the unrest or will he embrace love, faith, hope in the chaos and stay strong despite everything?

An era of disaster. A brave soldier holding onto hope. A beautiful woman waiting for love.

Love and War is never victimless. As soldiers lose fellow brothers of war in the blink of an eye, mothers, wives, and children lose the ones they love most. Many will wait for their loved ones to come home, only to never hear from them, their hope dwindling by the day. Some will never make it home.

This is a story of hope, following Emad Shamon as he navigates falling in love during unprecedented times.

Emad Shamon met the love of his life, a beautiful woman named Maryam. All Emad wanted to do was to give her the world. Set in the 1980s during the Iraq and Iran War, Emad makes the difficult decision not to marry the love of his life and was drafted to war, worried he may never make it home to her.

As the war rages on for eight long years, Emad must keep his faith as he navigates the difficult realities of combat, learning to truly trust his faith in God, and believing that in the end, he will be where he belongs.

A story of Iraqis living, as one united nation, in harmony regardless of their belief, fighting the aggressive enemy.

A true story of hope, love, and motivation to keep living in a world that seems to try to pull them down, Emad and Maryam will have you understand the real meaning of love, overcoming, and trusting God during the difficult times of war and destruction.
