This is the memoir I began with our father, Robert Bechara Zeinoun, in 2004. We planned it together, including the chapters, stories, and I helped edit his work. The childhood stories were typed, some by dad alone, some by my transcribing an interview we conducted, and some by videos we shot together which I then summarized. We continued the work on this book until December of 2023, three months before he passed. I am so very excited to have this published to share with my children, my sister, and with all of his family and friends. He was an extraordinary man. I hope you are inspired by his life's jouney, his soul, his "hayete."
