About the Book

Prophet Enoch, who was the first to write with pen said "The real joy of life is to have wisdom". This book is completely and painfully true, with a tragic, yet inspirational outcome that reflects not only my own experiences with US Immigration, but the experiences of thousands of others in search of an "American Dream" that is terribly skewed and falsified. This story is about an upstanding, successful, and well-respected businessman, who while recovering from a shooting incident is taken by ICE agents to be deported from the country he loves after 20 years serving as an upstanding citizen, never once committing a crime. The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing in the face injustice. What I have been through has given me the desire to do what I can to make the world a better place to live, for myself and for generations to come. The saying goes, "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger", and I would like to manifest this phrase through this book. Writing has been a form of therapy for me when there was no one to talk to, and I have found that words are more powerful than any drug in helping ease my pain and keep me going. The aim in describing my unbelievable experiences is not just to tell stories, but to teach the morality behind them, to promote peace and cultural understanding, and to pinpoint universal issues that need to be re-thought. Without passion, everything in life is pointless.
About the Author: Majdi Eddin is a first-time writer from Jordan. He was born and raised in Cairo, Egypt and studied Business Management to prepare for a career. He actually lived and worked in New Jersey and Ohio, U.S.A for twenty years as a manager and business owner before moving back to Jordan in 2009, where he found the opportunity of free time and an interest in writing novels and screenplays. Once he began screenwriting, he fell in love with it. He is fascinated by storytelling, primarily stories about his life experiences that anyone can relate to. Other passions include photography, reading and gardening. In 2012, Mr. Majdi won the "Royal Reel Award" for his first screenplay, Game of Spades, and in 2013 his second screenplay, Sea of Bitterness, was given the "Award of Excellence" at the Canada International Film Festival. Mr. Majdi was deeply grateful to be nominated to receive the "Golden Palm Award" at the 2013 Beverly Hills International Film Festival and the "Red Carpet Award" at the 2013 London International Film Festival.
