A refreshingly honest take on how we cope with wounds that just won't heal, Sons of the Prophet follows a Lebanese family in Pennsylvania who never loses their sense of humor as they struggle with crazy bosses, medical mysteries and other issues.
What Is the Story of Sons of the Prophet?
Joseph Douaihy, the elder son of a Lebanese family in Pennsylvania, can’t catch a break. Tragedy after tragedy befalls his lower-middle-class clan, and Joseph finds himself living with his younger brother and an elderly uncle while suffering from unexplained chronic pain. In order to get health insurance, he takes a job as an assistant to an eccentric former book editor, who wants to parlay his family’s distant relationship to poet Khalil Gibran into a comeback. When the Douaihy’s latest tragedy becomes a news story involving a local high school sports star, Joseph and his family are forced to test the limits of their forgiveness.
