Duration: 14 min 29 s
Description: Tareq Hadhad was set on a career in medicine until war broke out in Syria, forcing his family to flee to a small island in the Canadian Maritimes where he learned that whether healing through medicine or peace-making with chocolate, both paths can lead to a sweeter life for his family.

From the TTS vault. Not sure the venue or date, but likely early 2000s somewhere in New England.

I wrote the first version of this in 1991-1992 in Stockbridge MA, first performed by Hot Spanky Porpoise in Cambridge MA 1992/1993.
