Lynn left behind her hometown village in the Philippines for a housekeeping job in Lebanon at the age of 23. It was only meant to be temporary- until she met Butros, her employer-s nephew, and they fell in love. But for Lynn, marrying Butros has meant choosing to settle down in a country where she-s treated as an outsider. This episode was produced by Dana Ballout, with Nathalie Rosa Bucher and Alex Atack.
