The Hundred-Year Walk

The Hundred-Year Walk is a powerful memoir that tells the inspiring tale of a young Armenian's escape from genocide and his granddaughter's journey to retrace his steps. With newly discovered journals as her guide, Dawn MacKeen travels to Syria and Turkey to reconstruct her grandfather's odyssey through the Ottoman Empire, sharing a rare eyewitness account of the twentieth century's first genocide. Alternating between Stepan's tale of resilience and Dawn's remarkable journey, this book is full of gripping escapes and accounts of lifesaving kindnesses in the harsh desert.
