Miriam El Houli is the author of the award-winning book "The Olive Tree", a fictional story of life in occupied Palestine. A story told through the eyes of a 16-year-old girl, Nizma, who tries to bring hope for a compassionate and better future with her naive but optimistic mindset.

Miriam's goal as a writer is to save the world, one book at a time. Her passion is to write books with a message to improve humanity. Books that make us think about the world in a new way, opening up our perspectives and allowing us to walk in the shoes of those who experiences are different from ours.

Having experienced the horror of war first-hand in Lebanon, she hopes her books can help us understand that war is not the answer.

More than just an author, Miriam is the Mum of 5, the founder of "Eve's Skin" premium skin care products,  the co-founder of "Mica Minerals" make-up brand and a business coach.
