About the author

Arto was born in Aleppo, Syria, the son of a priest of the Armenian Church. His father's family originated from Cilicia (South Turkey) and his mother's from Armenia. As a 9 year old his father saw the whole of his family, except for a beloved sister, massacred during the Armenian genocide of 1915 to 1918. He became separated from his sister whilst walking hundreds of miles to Syria where he and thousands of other survivors found sanctuary. After spending nearly a year living on the streets he was picked up and placed in an orphanage. As an adult he spent many years searching for his sister, eventually finding her among the Bedouin.
