Anything But Ordinary

This book is the third volume of a compilation of stories from lives in the Middle East written by alumni of the American Community School at Beirut.

The first two books (When...not if and Fill the Bathtub!), in this series of three, told stories of conflict in the Middle East as experienced by alumni of the American Community School in Beirut. In this volume three distinct “generations” of ACS’ers write thirty stories from what might be perceived as quieter, more peaceful times.

When ... not if

This book is the first volume of a compilation of stories from conflicts in the Middle East written by alumni of the American Community School at Beirut.

The idea came out of a discussion on a mailing list of ACS alumni. Most ACS alumni were teenagers or grade school pupils at the time of their stories, others were faculty or staff. These stories describe their experiences in the Middle East, when they were at ACS, or the dramas of later years. Being at ACS left no one untouched. Some were there only a short period of time, never to return. A few have come back in later years and some just never left.
