First sentence: For as long as I knew the sky and the clouds, we lived in our white stucco house in the Armenian quarter of Azizva, in Turkey, but when the great dome of Heaven cracked and shattered over our lives, and we were abandoned by the sun and blown like scattered seed across the Arabian desert, none returned but me, and my Azizva, my precious home, was made to crumble and fall and forever disappear from my life.
