Description: TOUCHING & INTRIGUING

Reading this book, 'From The Nile To The Hudson', was truly enjoyable.
The author escorts you to many colorful places in three continents including Egypt and Europe, exposing you to different cultures.  It is a mixture of laughs and cries.
Vividly describes the culture shock that faces most immigrants, coping with Cerebral Palsy,venturing into self employment and private business.  It honestly illustrates the transformation, from a frustrated immigrant to a proud American. The ending is very uplifting.
