Summary:  "The story of a young Yemeni-American man, raised in San Francisco, who dreams of resurrecting the ancient art of Yemeni coffee but finds himself trapped in Sana'a by civil war. Mokhtar Alkhanshali grew up, one of seven siblings brought up by Yemeni immigrants in a tiny apartment. At age twenty-four, unable to pay for college, he works as a doorman, until a statue of an Arab raising a cup of coffee awakens something in him. He sets out to learn the rich history of coffee in his ancestral home. He travels to Yemen and visits farms, collecting samples, eager to bring improved cultivation methods to the countryside. He is on the verge of success when civil war engulfs Yemen in 2015. The US Embassy closes, Saudi bombs began to rain down on the country, and Mokhtar is trapped. He embarks on a passage that has him negotiating with dueling political factions and twice kidnapped at gunpoint. He hires a skiff to take him, and his coffee samples, across the Red Sea. A story that weaves together the history of coffee, the ongoing Yemeni civil war, and a courageous man following the most American of dreams"--Provided by publisher. Genre:  Adult books on CD.
