In The Hundred-Year Walk MacKeen alternates between Stepans courageous account, drawn from his long-lost journals, and her own story as she attempts to retrace his steps, setting out alone to Turkey and Syria, shadowing her resourceful, resilient grandfather across a landscape still rife with tension. Dawn uses his journals to guide her to the places he was imperiled and imprisoned and the desert he crossed with only half a bottle of water. Their shared story is a testament to family, to home, and to the power of the human spirit to transcend the barriers of religion, ethnicity, and even time itself. ¶ A Finalist for the Dayton Literary Peace Prize - A New York Post Must-Read ¶ “This book reminds us that the way we treat strangers can ripple out in ways we will never know...MacKeens excavation of the past reveals both uncomfortable and uplifting lessons about our present."--Ari Shapiro, NPR ¶ “I am in awe of what Dawn MacKeen has done...Her sentences sing. Her research shines. Her readers will be rapt--and a lot smarter by the end."--Meghan Daum, author of The Unspeakable: And Other Subjects of Discussion¶ “Harrowing."--Us Weekly Author Biography DAWN MACKEEN is an award-winning investigative journalist.
