Yevnige's Journey: A Memoir

By Peter G. Garabedian

In 1992, when Peter Garabedian opened the bags of letters he had saved from his deceased parents' apartment, he set out on a more than twenty year quest to research and write his family's history. A childhood in an orphanage, the Armenian Genocide, the Russian Civil War, an arranged marriage, immigration and many hardships and losses all shaped his family's story. Combining non-fiction and fiction narratives, this memoir shows how horrific historic events can affect the lives in one family and each of its members in different ways.
