This is a true story of a young boy who lived in a cave with his grand parents in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco and who later finds himself on a path of exciting discovery and learning. Traveling from New York to the mid western city of Lawrence, Kansas, then Fresno and Berkeley in California, he actually witnesses the turbulence on this campus and offers his reflections on the significance of the free speech movement. After he completes his higher education, he travels back east to begin an extraordinary professional career at the United Nations. In the course of his long journey, the young man learns about the values that make America great, and about the inner working of the international organization. Looking at the latter from an intimate angle and refreshing point of view, he reveals what many others have never revealed about the internal life of the world organization. Thanks to his rich international and diplomatic experience of almost fifty years under the roof of the United Nations, Abbadi is able to formulate bold and concrete suggestions on how the world can better be served by this important institution. He lives a purpose, and offers an inspiring message.
