Looking for an unflinching memoir about moving to a new place?

Golriz Ghahraman is an MP in Aotearoa New Zealand. But of course, that’s not where her story began. In this honest, intimate memoir, Ghahraman shares the story of her family’s harrowing journey from Iran, and the process of making a new life in Tāmaki Makaurau / Auckland. She also discusses her work for the United Nations and, as a human rights lawyer, and her election to Congress. We found this a fast, engaging, and moving read about the triumphs of the human spirit in the 21st century that we think you’ll find inspiring as well as educational.
