Join author Samah Sabawi as she shares the story of her family over the past 100 years, starting in Palestine under British rule and ending in Redland Bay in Queensland.

Samah’s book, Cactus Pear for My Beloved, is a heartfelt memoir celebrating land, history and family. It tells the story of the son (one of six), born during displacements to a disabled father and illiterate mother, who became a poet and advocate for peaceful resistance in Palestine before fleeing to Australia with his young family.

Samah's book will be available for purchase and light refreshments will be served.
