Mohanad Alsayed is not just a survivor of circumstance—he is a force shaped by resistance and rebirth. Born in the heart of Tulkarm, a city scarred by occupation yet rich with ancestral echoes, Mohanad came of age dodging death in schoolyards and side streets. While some of his classmates became martyrs before they became men, Mohanad carried forward—with memory as his shield and testimony.

At 23, he crossed continents to the United States, chasing opportunity—but exile doesn’t silence the homeland. As he unraveled the tangled threads of U.S.-Israeli geopolitics, he unearthed a haunting truth: though he had left Palestine, Palestine had never left him.

Answering his grandmother’s dying wish, he embarks on a high-stakes quest across Europe to find her son—a rebel uncle who vanished while being hunted by Mossad. What follows reads like a political thriller but feels like a sacred pilgrimage—one man’s relentless pursuit of truth, justice, and family legacy.

But this memoir is more than a chronicle—it’s an emotional immersion. You don’t read these pages; you live them. With every chapter, the reader is pulled into the visceral reality of a wounded Palestinian soul—aching, defiant, unbreakable. The fear, the hope, the resistance—it’s all here, burning on the page.

Mohanad’s journey bridges worlds, generations, and struggles. Through his story, he demands not pity but recognition—and dares us to witness the cost of dignity, the price of freedom, and the unyielding power of remembering.
