Roots of Grace is a powerful, intergenerational memoir that weaves personal history with the untold story of Eritrea. Through vivid storytelling, Dawit Gebremichael Habte traces his journey from childhood in Asmara and Addi-Hayo, through war and diaspora, to leadership in America, showing how family, faith, and community form the foundation of the identity we carry forward.
The book also explores Eritrea’s ancient history, colonial past, the post–World War II federation and annexation, the long struggle for independence, and the global forces that shaped one nation’s fate. Yet at its core, this is an intimate story: a mother’s sacrifice, a father’s wisdom, a community that raised its children together, and the enduring belief that education, integrity, and resilience create generational wealth beyond money.
Blending memoir, history, leadership reflection, and cultural preservation, Roots of Grace speaks to immigrants, parents, leaders, and anyone searching for meaning in a fractured world. It asks: What do we inherit beyond piece of land? What do we protect? And what do we pass on?
