My War At Home

Trama

A memoir of an Afghani-American woman recounts her struggle to heal the rift between her Muslim and American belief systems, in a personal story that describes her arranged marriage at the age of seventeen to an older stranger, her ostracism for her pursuit of a divorce and college education, and her reconnections with her Muslim family in Afghanistan before and after the September 11 attacks.
