Abu Ibrahim

At fifty-three, he has a job title he no longer holds, a family he loves fiercely, and a silence inside him that no one else can hear. Two years without work have stripped away more than income - they've stripped away who he thought he was. Surrounded by a devoted wife, a seven-year-old son whose laughter is the only thing that still feels real, a mother who doesn't understand him, and an elder sister who is both his closest ally and his fiercest rival, he begins to unravel in the quietest possible way.
The Stranger Who Lives In Me is a first-person psychological portrait of a man exiled not from his country, but from himself - and of the morning he finally walks out the door, leaving behind only a letter and a question with no answer.
