{"product_id":"in-my-fathers-name-9780671010027","title":"In My Father's Name","description":"On January 2, 1972, Mark Arax's childhood came to a sudden, explosive end when his father was shot to death at his nightclub in Fresno, California. It was one of the most sensational murders in California's heartland, and it was never solved. \u003cp\u003e Mark, only fifteen years old at the time, was left with a legacy of questions: Were the rumors about his father true? Had he led a double life? Was he killed because of his dealings with the underworld? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Mark Arax, an award-winning journalist at the \"Los Angeles Times, \" now writes a searing, intensely personal account of his twenty-two-year search for answers about his father's life and death, and his own identity. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e As the oldest child, Mark was thrust into the role of patriarch. His quest for answers began in high school, when he sought out his father's father, an Armenian immigrant. His grandfather opened a window into an old country world full of promise and heartbreak -- and four generations of eccentric family members. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Two decades later, Mark uprooted his wife and baby and returned to Fresno under an assumed name to try and determine who killed his father and why. Fearing for his own life, he discovers his father was murdered just before he was going to make a startling disclosure. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e More than a true-life murder mystery, more than an exploration of family and culture, \"In My Father's Name\" is the poignant story of one man's remarkable journey as he uncovers long-hidden secrets about his father, his family, his heritage, and the town he once called home.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Gallery Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780671010027\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.32lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.05h x 6.08w x 0.97d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/23\/1997 pg. 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mark Arax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36639778046108,"sku":"9780671010027","price":22.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_14359edc-2cb8-4cc9-9fb5-6c5f9d5a2674.jpg?v=1607545002","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/in-my-fathers-name-9780671010027","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
