Reading this rare first-hand account, his granddaughter, Dawn MacKeen, finds herself first drawn into the colorful bazaars before the war and then into the horrors Stepan later endured. The Hundred-Year Walk alternates between Stepan's saga and another journey that takes place a century later, after his family discovers his long-lost journals.

Just before killing squads slaughter his caravan during a forced desert march, Stepan manages to escape, making a perilous six-day trek to the Euphrates River. Gradually realizing the unthinkable-that they are all being driven to their deaths-he fights through starvation and thirst, not to lose hope. He is separated from his family as they are swept up in the government's mass deportation of Armenians into internment camps. … In the heart of the Ottoman Empire as World War I rages, Stepan Miskjian's world becomes undone.
