The contrast between how the West views newcomers versus how immigrants picture themselves is stark. New residents in Canada and the US are often misunderstood, disrespected, or poorly labeled due to inaccurate assumptions and stereotypes held by all parties. What does it take to attend university in a second or third language? What are the common denominators amongst people arriving in the West wanting to pursue "the American dream"? What are the impacts of cultural and social adjustments, academic and professional advancement? How do new Canadians and Americans maneuver through prejudices and discrimination coming from not only those born on western soil but also from other immigrants?
My Silver Lining, volume three of a three-volume memoir, is a window into the hurdles that settlers face and the support they get from those who welcome immigrants to their new chosen homelands. Peer through this window by reading the story of a young man who navigated from Ethiopia and Yemen to the US and Canada to establish his identity and purpose. The story shows how Adel Ben-Harhara succeeded after leaving behind everything he knew and attempted to embrace an unknown way of life on a new continent.

What happened to one of the oldest nations on Earth, the cradle of Arabian civilization, the home of the Biblical Queen of Sheba, consort of King Solomon? Yemen, with ties to the Semitic lands to its north and to the cultures of the Horn of Africa across the Red Sea, is frozen in time and still practicing medieval traditions. Illiteracy and constant tribal conflicts serve as catalysts in suppressing development and modernization, keeping the country and surrounding areas suspicious and threatening.
Hope in the Sky, Volume 2 of a three-volume autobiography, speaks about millions of Yemen''s Muwalladin (foreign-born Yemenis) struggling for equal rights and citizenship. One young man spent a dozen years in Yemen, where he suffered from prejudice, discrimination, and the effects of civil war. He endured harsh treatment because he wore dark skin, was born in East Africa and was unable to assimilate into an underdeveloped society living according to primitive cultural traditions.
He stood strong and managed to depart his ancestors'' country, not because he was tough but because he had no choice.
Care to uncover the inner circle of Yemeni lives through the struggles of a sixteen-year boy who immigrated to his ancestors'' land? Read on.

"ፍለጋ" የተሰኘው ይህ የባለ ሦስት ቅጽ እኔ በእንተእኔ ሁለተኛ ጥራዝ፣ በሚሊዮኖች የሚቆጠሩ የየመን ሙዋላዲኖች (በውጭ ሀገራት ተወላጅ የሆኑ የመኖች) ለእኩል መብትና ለዜግነት ፍቃድ ስለሚያደርጉት ትግል ያወሳል። መሃይምነትና ተከታታይ የጎሳ ግጭቶች ልማትንና ዘመናዊነትን በማጨናገፍ፣ አሁንም ሀገሪቱንና አካባቢዋን በማወክ ላይ ናቸው።
ወደ ቅድመ አያቶቹ ምድር በተሰደደ አንድ የአሥራ ስድስት ዓመት ልጅ ተጋድሎ ውስጥ፣ የየመንን መሠረታዊ መገለጫዎች ፍንትው አድርገው ለመረዳት ይገድዎታል? እንግዲያውስ ይህ የእርስዎ መጽሐፍ ነው።
በምድር ላይ ካሉት ጥንታዊ ሥልጣኔዎች አንዱ የነበረውና፣ የአረብ ሥልጣኔ መገኛ የሆነው፣ የንጉስ ሰሎሞን እንግዳ በነበረችው በመጽሐፍ ቅዱሳዊቷ በንግሥተ ሳባ ምድር መጻተኛው ምን ገጠመው? በሰሜን በኩል ከሴማዊ አገሮችና ከቀይ ባህር ማዶ ከአፍሪካ ቀንድ ባህሎች ጋር ግንኙነት ያላት የመን፣ አሁን በጊዜ ተለዋዋጭነት ተክዳ የመካከለኛውን ዘመን ባህሎች የሙጥኝ ብላለች፡፡
ዓድል በየመን በቆየባቸው ጥቂት ዓመታት መገለልን፣ መድሎንና የእርስ በርስ ጦርነትን ገፈት ቀምሷል፡፡ የሚኮራበት ጠይም የምሥራቅ አፍሪካ የቆዳ ቀለሙ ኋላቀርና ጥንታዊ ከሆነው የየመን ማህበረሰብ ጋር በቀላሉ እንዳይዋሃድ እንቅፋት ሆኖበት ነበር። ዓድል ይህንን ሁሉ መሰናክል አልፎና የአያት ቅድመ አያቱን ምድር ለቆ፣ ወደ ተሻለ ሀገር መሄድ የቻለው ጠንካራ ስለሆነ ብቻ ሳይሆን፣ አማራጭ ስለሌለውም ጭምር ነበር።

أمل يلوح فِي الأفق
في هَذَا الكتاب الجزء الثاني من ٣ أجزاء من السيرة الذاتية، يتحدث عَن الملايين من اليمنين "المولدين" المكافحِين والساعيين لنيل حقوقهم فِي المساواة والجنسية.. الأمية وصراعات القبائل المستمرة، تدفع لتجميد الأوضاع البائسة، وتجعل البلاد والمناطق المُحِيطة بها مصدر للشبهات والمخاطر.. مما يترك آثاره السلبية عَلَى جميع سكان اليمن والمدن المجاورة..
( هل يثير اهتمامك أن تكشف ما يحدث خلف الأسوار/هل ينتابك الفضول لمعرفة ماذا يدور تحت الطاولات) من خلال نضال وكفاح شاب فِي السادسة عشرة من عمره، هاجر لآرض اجداده؟ أرجوك أكمل القراءة ولا تقف هنا......
ماذا حدث لأعظم وأعرق الحضارات عَلَى الأرض، مهد الحضارات العربية، وموطن الملكة بلقيس فِي سبأ، رفيقة الملك سليمان؟ اليمن، ذات الروابط مع السامية والمحتضنة لثقافات القرن الأفريقي، عبر البحر الأحمر من ناحية الشمال، لَقَد توقف الزمن عندها، ولا تزال تمارس تقاليد القرون الوسطى..
لَقَد قضى الشاب عشرات السنين فِي اليمن حَيث عانى من التعصب والعنصرية وتأثيرات الحرب الأهلية.. وتحمل قساوة المعاملة بسبب بشرته الداكنة.. هو من مواليد شرق افريقيا.. لم يتمكن الشاب من الاندماج فِي مجتمع رجعي تغلب عليه الطباع الهمجية ويعيش وفقا للعادات والثقافة البدائية.. ولَكِنَّه وقف كالأسد وتمكن من مغادره بلاد أجداده، ليس لآنه كَان قويا، بَل لأنه لم يملك خيارات اخري..
مع ألف سلامة اليمن.. راحلا الي شمال أمريكا..
