My Patch: A Memoir

My Patch: A Memoir

How can you achieve your most ambitious and improbable dreams? Nasser Hanna is the only son of immigrants who arrived in the United States in search of the American Dream. Facing feelings of alienation, Hanna drew inspiration from a preacher, a teacher, and a friend. He absorbed the lessons of courage, risk-taking, and resilience from his father, and grace and kindness from his mother. He discovered a passion for social justice and became an advocate for causes greater than himself. Throughout his journey, he experienced failure, setbacks, and crises, yet remained resilient in pursuit of his hopes and aspirations. Through engaging storytelling, Hanna guides readers through his evolution from cautious thinking and blinking in big moments to finding his voice and becoming a leader. His stories guide readers to see how fears transform into courage; success follows failures; accepting ‘good enough’ leads to happiness and joy; and your differences are your strength.
