Critic reviews

“Jon Tattrie expertly weaves the extraordinary story of the Hadhad family’s journey from Syria to Canada with a portrayal of the Antigonish community that came together to support them. Peace by Chocolate is a timely tale of triumph, a story about the gift of community and the power of determination, and one family’s passion for chocolate. We need more heartwarming stories like this, especially today.”—Ayelet Tsabari, author of The Art of Leaving

“A beautiful story of adversity, loss, love, and hope. This captivating read shows us the power and potential of vision, drive, and community through the incredible journey of the Hadhad family—truly inspiring.”—Jana Sobey, Vice President, Merchandising, Sobeys Inc

“An important, compassionate book, which everyone should read. It will change how you think about Syrian refugees. Peace by Chocolate will open your heart and mind and move you to reach out to people in need. This is a book about never losing hope.”—Tima Kurdi, author of The Boy on the Beach

What a great story for our times

I have family who fled Lebanon and Iran who have similar stories. All with positive endings. It’s a great story, compliments to the narrator too, he had an easy listening voice that brought the story to life!
I will recommend to all my family and friends.

Inspiring story excellent narration

I listened to Peace by Chocolate to prepare for a book club discussion. We read books made into movies. This is a great account of a brave and industrious family led by remarkable Taraq Hadhad. So easy to listen to thanks to Lee Majdoub narration.
