Some families are given. Some are found.
For sixty-six years, Dr Omar Taha knew exactly who he was: a son of Alexandria, a London family doctor, a husband and a father. His life had been painted in colours that never ran.
Then a simple home DNA test, taken at his daughter's urging, changes everything. Two names appear on the screen: a half-sister in Ohio and a half-brother in Illinois, strangers who share his blood. With them comes a question he has never dared to ask his ninety-year-old mother. What happened in the summer before he was born?
Threads Across Two Worlds is a true story, told with warmth and honesty, about a family that stretches from the Mediterranean to the American Midwest. It takes you from a quiet kitchen table in north London to a first meeting in Istanbul, a hospital in Cincinnati, and at last a long table in Alexandria, where a mother's seventy-year-old secret is finally spoken aloud.
Along the way, it asks the questions that anyone with a family eventually faces. What do we owe the truth? Can love survive the things we were never told? And what does it mean to belong to people you have only just met?
If you love family sagas, DNA-discovery stories, immigrant journeys, or quiet, moving true stories about forgiveness and faith, this book is for you.
No real names are used in this book. It was written with the assistance of AI for editing and formatting.
