While a touch of such skepticism may be well founded, the memoir genre can yield books of profound human depth and significance, especially, as in this case, when the young memoirist writes from a perspective that has been underrepresented.

The great chorus of human memory is enriched when new voices join in. El Sayed’s book is an example of one such new voice, one that deserves respect and attention. B.C. publisher Greystone has done readers a service by bringing it into the public arena.
