If you’re looking for a good summertime read, a hiking friend of mine has written a memoir of his life.  The first book in the series is called “To Have Nothing - God Bless The Child Who’s Got His Own”.  The book is available on Amazon. 

It’s the powerful story of a young boy born into wealth until he was orphaned at the age of 5. Adel tells us his compelling story of survival following the death of his father which shaped the man he has become today.  As you read the pages your heart will ache for the young boy that never felt he fit in or belonged.  The story is interwoven with the religious and cultural beliefs of a historical time in Ethiopia’s history. 

It’s a fascinating read that reminded me of the struggles of many of our new Canadians (some of whom I now call my friends) faced before coming to this country. 

Hope you enjoy it.
