Excerpt from Shepard of Aintab
There is nothing which so Stirs the blood and inspires one with the desire to live a life that Shall count for something as reading the life of a man who so lived. The new glimpses of my father's life, coming to me from one and another of those whose lives he touched, have brought new inspiration as I have woven them, together with my own memories, into the story told in this volume.

Through gripping tales of Shepard's daring escapades, perilous travels, and miraculous surgeries performed with limited resources, the book explores the profound impact one dedicated individual can have on a community.
