The Bulls Of Gee'Gez

As Zohrab drifts asleep each night, the stories of his ancestors fill his dreams— narratives that exist on the precipice of reality and imagination. The Bulls of Gee'gez tells the tale of an Armenian family's century-long journey and the vital role of storytelling in their survival and adaptation to a changing world.

When storm clouds gathered over Anatolia in the early twentieth century, a Christian family had to leave to survive. The family was faced with three options: stay in their ancestral land and perish, go to Russia and die spiritually, or migrate to Europe, or any other country that would accept them, and attempt to establish themselves. The three youngest chose America. The two oldest with their parents trekked the road South to the City of Beirut in Lebanon. This is my story of the America bound trio, and how they found opportunity along with hard knocks. This is the story of their journey for survival. It shows the reader how they lived and contributed patriotically. How they supported the victory that followed War War II, as they did the war that followed the Great War – "The War to end all wars." It told of the Five Bulls coming together, contributing toward their family's success.
