Sharon Aroian will be signing copies of 'Crossing the Euphrates' at Vromans bookstore in Pasadena, California on April 24th at 4:00pm. 'Crossing the Euphrates' is a wonderfully readable and moving historical novel, bringing to life a too often forgotten, century old story with vivid immediacy. It tells the harrowing escape and survival of a man who lost everyone and everything during the first genocide of the 20th century, inflicted on ethnic Armenians by the fading Ottoman Empire in 1915.
