The Kaleidoscope of Destiny
Fourteen-year-old Arakel, driven from his hometown in 1915 in the Ottoman Empire, fights to survive a harrowing forced march into the desert with thousands of other Armenians, and must reach out to people from different faiths and backgrounds, whom he considers enemies—Turks, Kurds, Bedouins, Arab camel drivers, Germans, even a wandering dervish—and figure out who to trust in a world of barbaric cruelty, confronting what lies deep within the human heart.
