Overview

4% OF LIFE - Still standing between Two Shores A man. A stolen childhood. A life built against all odds. Born in Senegal to a family of Lebanese origin, he grew up in the silence and violence of a father who forbade him to cry. At sixteen, he fled Dakar for France with a suitcase and a single challenge in mind - to prove his father wrong. This moving autobiographical novel recounts an extraordinary journey: immigration, loneliness, hard-won degrees, businesses built and lost, love, and grief. And above all-the terrifying discovery that he has only 4% functioning kidneys left, condemned to dialysis, crying out in pain every night before going to bake bread at 4 a.m. 4% OF LIFE is a book for all those who suffer in silence. A book for all those who live with a visible or invisible disability. A book that says: we fall, but we can always get back up. If you are looking for an authentic survival story, a testimony about domestic violence, disability and resilience - this book is for you. Still standing. Despite everything.
