About Sekip Surget

Sekip Surget is a traveler between worlds, of time, memory, and meaning. His writing is guided by an unshakable belief that freedom begins in the heart long before it exists in the world.

In his book To Believe in Freedom, Surget tells the true-to-life story of a Vietnamese mother who leads her children from the wreckage of war toward the uncertain promise of America. Through her eyes, he captures not only the struggle for survival but also the quiet grace of those who refuse to surrender their humanity.

Beyond his work as an author, Sekip Surget has devoted much of his life to exploring history, not merely by reading it but by investigating its hidden layers. He approaches history as a vast, unfinished puzzle, patiently setting each fragment of evidence into place to reveal a more complete and honest picture of humanity’s journey. His curiosity extends from ancient civilizations of Anatolia to modern migrations that continue to shape our world. He travels the world to learn history not from a single-sided view but from the voices of the people, the stones beneath their feet, and the silences left between them. For him, understanding is born where perspectives meet.

In his professional life, Surget blends art and technology with the same spirit of curiosity. With years of experience in embroidery machine technology and software development, he has built a career at the crossroads of precision and imagination. To him, every pattern, line of code, or piece of design carries a story, another way of shaping meaning in a complex world.

From ancient Anatolia’s buried cities to the refugee camps of Southeast Asia, Sekip Surget’s path has been shaped by a single conviction that freedom, truth, and compassion are the foundations of humanity.

He lives in California, where he continues to write, create, and explore the delicate space between memory and possibility.
