Product Description
This biography, a derivation of an autobiography of a Christian Armenian woman who endured four wars, revolves around 1975 Beirut. Trapped in her fourth floor flat, she relives her story, as her beloved city crumbles around her. Born in central Turkey, she loses her entire family, during the Armenian genocide. One of only a handful, who escapes to Aleppo, Syria after the French-Turkish War of 1920, she and her family again survive another war – WWII.

While Hripsime lives out her last years in America, she perceives our nation as naïve about the ways of her world. Although this book offers a good understanding of Middle-East philosophies, it is above all an inspiring story of an Armenian woman with a remarkable faith who survived against all odds to tell her story. A born-again Christian, Hripsime describes her life as one miracle after another.
