Synopsis

A NATIONAL BESTSELLER

The trajectory of Zahra Al-Harazi’s life defies
expectations. In this electrifying story, which begins in a small village in
Yemen and ends in a Calgary suburb, Al-Harazi describes her experience of two
civil wars; her years as a young immigrant mother with little education; and her
road to becoming one of Canada’s most successful businesswomen.

Navigating two worlds, Al-Harazi has struggled to find
her own way between East and West, religion and belief, freedom and obligation,
love and honour, despair and gratitude, war and war again. With deep warmth and
courageous honesty, she emphasizes how it is only through gratitude and
persistence that we can find happiness and the courage to build the life we
want.
