This book is dedicated to my father Adan Ismail and to all those, like him, who devote their lives to caring for others with humanity, compassion and kindness.
This memoir is based on my recollection of events which may not be as others recall them. Where conversations cannot be remembered precisely, I have re-created them to the best of my ability. Any mistakes are my own.
