Synopsis

FINDING HOME: FROM CAIRO TO NEW YOK

An award-winning memoir of resilience, reinvention, and the courage to claim one’s voice

Finding Home: From Cairo to New York celebrates the strength of the human spirit and the resolve required to discover—and redefine—oneself.

Born into a traditional Catholic, patriarchal society and coming of age under a politically autocratic regime in Egypt, Djenane Nakhle, PhD, recounts her life-shaping experience across four continents in pursuit of identity, freedom, and meaning.

With grit and unwavering determination, she navigates a tumultuous marriage, motherhood, love, divorce, and displacement—always moving forward with an enduring “I can do it” spirit. Through loss and renewal, pain and joy, she forges a path toward higher education, self-realization, and lasting clarity.

This deeply personal memoir is a compelling account of resilience and transformation. It speaks to every woman who has struggled to define herself, reclaim her voice, and build a meaningful life on her own terms.

“We each have a path to follow at our own pace and time.
I hope reading about my story inspires you with your own.”
— Djenane Nakhle, PhD
