About this ebook
In his memoirs, that he tried to finish before his passing in May of 2020 and that I am now publishing posthumously, you'll read about how he went from a tiny village in Jordan to the United States and back; how he became a pioneer in higher education; how he became an influencer for peace, humanity, and harmony in his beloved country and on the world stage. You will also get a very personal glimpse into his family history which predates that of Jordan by several centuries.
A true advocate of Aristotle's idea that there are only two constants in life time and change, he includes recollections of the events in Jordan and Palestine where he grew up that changed the lives of his entire generation and continue to impact our lives today.
He always said his life like that of Jordan was beautiful and full of hope adding that in spite of the twists and turns of his life he always seemed to end up exactly where he was meant to be.
