Lebanese-Canadian Author Richard Asmet Awid’s Memoir “Walk With Me, My Son” Set For Book Display at the London Book Fair 2026

“Walk With Me, My Son: You and I Have Some Stories to Tell” by Richard Asmet Awid will be displayed by the self-publishing and book marketing company ReadersMagnet at the 2026 London Book Fair (LBF). The book trade fair will take place on March 10–12, 2026, at Olympia London, London, UK. Fairgoers can find the book displayed at ReadersMagnet’s exhibit at stand 6A90.

As one of the largest and most influential gatherings in the global publishing scene, the London Book Fair brings together authors, publishers, literary agents, industry professionals, and book-lovers from over a hundred countries. Attendees have the chance to discover “Walk With Me, My Son,” a riveting and heartwarming memoir.

Awid’s memoir begins in 1901, when nineteen-year-old Ehmid Alley Awid Amerey fled the dissolving Ottoman Empire and journeyed to Canada. What follows is a deeply researched and compelling account of Lebanese migration to North America, told through the intertwined stories of Awid’s ancestors and community. The book places the experiences of Lebanese pioneers in the Canadian prairies at the forefront of historical conversation.

With an accessible prose and meticulous historical detail, “Walk With Me, My Son” contributes significantly to the understanding of an under-recognized immigrant community. Awid documents 135 years of struggle, resilience, identity, and cultural preservation – stories often missing from mainstream narratives of Canadian history. The memoir serves both as a personal testament and a broader historical record of the Lebanese diaspora.

Its book display at the London Book Fair 2026 invites new audiences to engage with these narratives. With LBF serving as a global marketplace for books, film, audio, and digital rights, the memoir’s inclusion positions it for international discovery and future publishing opportunities.

For readers seeking untold stories of migration, heritage, and community, “Walk With Me, My Son: You and I Have Some Stories to Tell” by Richard Asmet Awid offers a profound and enduring contribution. Available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
