October 28, 2015 -"They Fell," a new book by Stephen (Estepan) Michael Stapanian, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

After the killing of her Armenian family and the destruction of her village by the command of the Ottoman government, young Arpi is taken in by an Arab family. Eventually Arpi is forced to flee again, this time to a missionary relief station set up to help the persecuted Armenian Christians.

Set during the Armenian Genocide of the early twentieth century, They Fell is an epic historical adventure that shines light not only on the horrible abuses that led to the execution of more than one million Armenians but also the courage and valor of the Armenian people to survive.
