A Childhood Lost to the Armenian Genocide Imagine being a young boy, barely fourteen, pulled from your home and forced by invaders to march with your family across the desert. Imagine seeing the people you know and love removed, one by one, as you stand by, helpless. Imagine the atrocities committed with impunity before your eyes. Why? Because it must not be forgotten. And now you can live it through the eyes of a survivor of the Armenian genocide. Yet, far from a hand-wringing tale of woe, Zaven's Destiny is filled with hope, courage, honor and compassion. Walk with young Zaven as he follows a compelling force inside of him to sacrifice personal safety and comfort and avenge his people; his family, friends and countrymen. Bedros Margosian's words, energized by his daughter, Liz, breathe life into a time long past and transport us into the adventure that was his life. More than just history, Zaven's Destiny reveals the Armenian heart and mind.
