About the author
Joyce received her Baccalaureate as a philosophy major in 1956 from the Lycee Francais in Alexandria, Egypt. With the onset of the Suez Canal War later that same year, she married and was forced to leave her family and her birth land, immigrating to America. While raising her three children, she was often asked to speak publicly about her life as an Egyptian Jew. During the Coronavirus pandemic, she decided to tell her story about her childhood in Egypt, her family exile, and her struggle to start a new life in America.
