Cedars in the Pines narrates the lives of Lebanese immigrants who have journeyed from Lebanon to North Carolina and labored here to build new homes, raise families, and enrich the state with their culture and hard work. It tells of a legacy that is as much about great accomplishments as it is about the quiet and unassuming. A singular doctor in a small mountain town or a car mechanic at a Piedmont crossroads becomes a vital thread in the fabric of this state: Lebanese cedars among the pines of North Carolina.
