Publisher's Synopsis
WITH A CANDID, CLEAR, and engaging voice, Dr. Hanna, born in Sudan, shares captivating true-life stories about his immigrant journey in America. He traces his Christian ancestral history in the Levant, Egypt, and Ethiopia and recounts his multiracial parents' immigrant journeys to Sudan.
He describes vividly the hidden secrets and long-forgotten stories of his ancestors and parents who were eyewitnesses to the Levant and Africa's colonization, religious suppression, world wars, racism, slavery, and widespread immigration for survival.
Offering much-needed insight and encouragement to every immigrant and college student, Dr. Hanna, who came to America with a God-inspired dream to be a doctor, writes about the minefields of his undergraduate college life: every temptation known to humanity and prejudice where he heard the "N" word said to him for the very first time. He mistook it for an American greeting!
With gripping stories that will make you recharge your dreams, cry, laugh, and think, Dr. Hanna reminds us that we're all, in essence, immigrants with dreams and a perpetual journey away from our past brokenness, hurts, loneliness, and injustices. We're all pursuing a better life: love, peace, freedom, joy, well-being, mental health, rest, and happiness.
