Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Jewish Egyptian spy. A life of high-risk espionage. Will his only chance to reconnect with his kin be mercilessly erased by Alzheimer's? Raymond Blanco never intended on leading a life of many roles, but after more than 90 years of experiences, he has a hard time remembering many of them. Raised in a Sephardic family in Egypt during the height of a growing resistance against Jews, Raymond maneuvers his way through childhood and into young adulthood with the guidance of his older cousin. When the two of them become key members of a Cairo-based Jewish spy ring, they're thrown into a world of split-second decisions that will ultimately determine the course of their lives. In the midst of life-threatening choices, Raymond loses contact with his cousin, but spends the rest of his life trying to find him again. Unable to stay in Egypt, Raymond finds his way to New York City, where his life is marked with success, international travels, and prosperity. But now the void in his heart marked by his cousin's disappearance is slowly being etched away by his fading memories. Can Raymond retain the last vestiges of a hidden career and reunite with his cousin Albert? Inspired by a true story, Home in a Hundred Places portrays dynamic relationships rooted in adventure and loyalty but stained by years of disconnect. Over the course of nearly a century, Raymond's life is led by deep-seeded familial traditions, unconditional love, and unanswered questions. As Raymond's life progresses, the onset of Alzheimer's disease slowly erases his memories. And as he struggles to hold onto a lifetime's worth of experiences, Raymond is scared that he will one day forget Albert before ever finding him again.
