Introduction

The content and spirit of this book are inspired by my formative years in Palestine and years of my self-actualization in America.

I was born in One Country of Palestine, where people of many faiths and many cultures live in cultures live in the Holy Land.

I came to America, which is a blessed experiment in international living, enriched by the ideals of the American Revolution and American Constitution.

I dedicate this book to the quest for peace and justice in a free Palestine, and to the everlasting American Dream.
