In this engaging memoir, Stephen Karakashian traces the terrain of the personal, professional, and geographical with insight and humility. Driven by curiosity and guided by compassion, the author eloquently chronicles his anything but ordinary life.

The child of an adventurous American mother and Palestinian Armenian father, Karakashian traces his immigrant roots from the Middle East, to smoky, small-town Appalachia, to the halls of prestigious research universities and the creation of a new public college considered radical for its time, and beyond. Interwoven with philosophical reflections on human kinship with other living things and one another, the author recounts coping with his identity as a gay married man and father of two in the aftermath of the Stonewall rebellion. Throughout Karakashian's incredible and varied career, he has managed to find the humanity in disparate, and sometimes desperate, circumstances: whether during the AIDS crisis working with young gay men facing certain death, or as an international observer during the world-shaking 1994 South African election, or his subsequent human rights work in Africa.
