Journey from ancient lands to new horizons. In 1961, Laura Saba, a brilliant political science student, and William Fouad, a driven medical doctor, were worlds apart, yet destined to meet in the vibrant Coptic community of Khartoum, Sudan. Laura, from a privileged upbringing, cherished her faith and anticipated an exciting life after university. William, a self-made man, secretly planned a move to the West, seeking a life unburdened by the limitations of his homeland.

This memoir, Must Have a Sense of Adventure, traces their remarkable immigration to Canada, from the bustling streets of Alexandria and Cairo to the snow-dusted landscapes of northern Manitoba. It's a story of quiet courage, cultural adaptation, and the enduring power of family. Experience their Egyptian diaspora story as they build a community and find belonging in an unfamiliar world.

Through their experiences, we witness the universal themes of resilience immigration, community-building in new countries, and the nuanced navigation of cultural integration. This "love letter" to the author's intrepid parents, Laura and William Fouad, is a testament to their extraordinary lives and a consecration of their history for new generations, celebrating 60 years of marriage. Discover this compelling family memoir Canada and the unique Coptic Christian memoir of finding home.
