The true 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. A heart-pounding true story that weaves together the history of coffee, the ongoing Yemeni civil war, and the courageous journey of a young man - a Muslim and a US citizen - following the most American of dreams.

Review of 'Monk of Mokha' on 'Goodreads'

An incredible story of one young man's determination against all odds and dangerous conditions, this is well worth the read. This rather short read includes some fascinating history, as well. It certainly makes one take another look at so many products that are, for us, so easily obtained.

I'd recommend this to anyone.
