Having the world famous novelist Leon Uris for a father had its downside. Kidnapped in Hollywood at age one, evacuated from Israel during the Suez Crisis, threatened by Arab nations and French assassins. Fueled by intrigue and ever present danger, Michael created an imaginary world distanced from a typical adolescence. At age fifteen, he unintentionally crossed boundaries of decency with his father's trophy wife. The triangle shattered three lives. Abandoned to face life without his mentor, Michael befriended his destructive alter ego. Making an effort to reunite with his son, Leon invited sixteen-year old Michael on a global research trip including Austria, Afghanistan and Pakistan. And the two began an incredible journey that was destined to either destroy or mend what little remained of their relationship.
