About Cecile Sarruf
Cecile Sarruf is a second-generation Arab-American writer of Syro-Lebanese and Midwestern descent, with a strong feminist and socio-political literary focus. She engages deeply with the art communities of Laguna Beach, where she is a member of Third Street Writers.
Cecile's writing journey began in her childhood, overcoming personal obstacles along the way. She has taught in Southeast LA, traveled to South Lebanon, and navigated her recovery from brain surgery in 2016, all of which have greatly influenced her creative growth.
Read a compelling excerpt from Cecile's manuscript, "Kitchen in Beirut; Breaking the Echo," and reflect on the words of Toni Morrison: "If you find a book you really want to read but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it."
