It is written in the words of a woman who came from Lebanon to Canada at the age of sixteen and experienced what it was like to have fate push her to a place where she didn{\textquoteright}t belong. It is written in the voice of every person who has felt unheard, mistreated, misjudged, or unseen. The book contains over 200 one-page reflections on topics we encounter in our everyday lives: love, friendship, hurt, inspiration, respect, motivation, integrity, honesty, and more. Mind Platter is not about the words it contains, but what the reader makes of them. May this book give a voice to those who need one, be a crying shoulder for those who yearn for someone to listen, and inspire those who need a reminder of the power they have over their lives."{\textendash}from Amazon}, keywords = {Canada, Conduct of life, Interpersonal Relations, Lebanese, Meditations, Poetry, POETRY / Middle Eastern, POETRY / Women Authors, Prose poems, RELIGION / Meditations, Self-actualization (Psychology) in women, SELF-HELP / Personal Growth / General}, isbn = {978-1-4494-9287-8}, url = {https://oxfordre-com.ezp-prod1.hul.harvard.edu/latinamericanhistory/}, author = {Zebian, Najwa} }
