"Daughter of Destiny is at once tragic and inspiring. Bhutto, who was assassinated on December 27, 2007, was the first woman elected to lead a Muslim country. Her unwavering passion for Pakistan is a testament to her strength and belief in her country. This is a woman whose words need to continue on after her death, and whose courageous actions need to be remembered." --Clara Sayre, Sacred Path Books & Art, Cleveland, OH

A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier (Paperback)

Published: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 08/01/2008
"Ishmael Beah is 12 years old when all hell breaks loose in Sierra Leone in the 1990s. Families are separated, most are brutally killed, and the boys are recruited as soldiers, including, ultimately, Ishmael. Readers will come to understand how truly damaged these children are, but Beah's ability to write so eloquently is a testament to his humanity and resilience." --Dianne Patrick, Snowbound Books, Marquette, MI

Infidel (Paperback)

By Ayaan Hirsi Ali
$15.99
ISBN-13: 9780743289696
Availability: Usually Ships in 1-5 days
Published: Free Press, 04/01/2008
"The author spent the first 20 years of her life being a dutiful daughter and devout, if questioning, Muslim. When she is forced into an arranged marriage, she finally rebels and seeks refugee status in Holland. Her story is fascinating, and articulates Ali's strong belief that Islam should reform its practice of subjugating and abusing women. This memoir could potentially add a great deal to our understanding of a complex religious culture." --Alice Meloy, Blue Willow Bookshop, Houston, TX

Availability: Special Order - Subject to Availability
Published: Tarcher, 10/01/2006
"This memoir from novelist Rachlin -- set in Iran during a time of turmoil -- is a story of both her childhood in Iran and a new life in America. This extraordinary book is much more than a memoir or a family story: It will encourage readers to rethink their own lives, and those of their sisters and mothers." --Karen Maeda Allman, The Elliott Bay Book Company,
Seattle, WA
