With poignancy and humor, Al-Maria shares the struggles of being raised by an American mother and Bedouin father while shuttling between homes in the Pacific Northwest and the Middle East. Part family saga and part personal quest, <em>The Girl Who Fell to Earth</em> traces Al-Maria's journey to make a place for herself in two different worlds.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>When Sophia Al-Maria's mother sends her away from rainy Washington State to stay with her husband's desert-dwelling Bedouin family in Qatar, she intends it to be a sort of teenage cultural boot camp. What her mother doesn't know is that there are some things about growing up that are universal. In Qatar, Sophia is faced with a new world she'd only imagined as a child. She sets out to find her freedom, even in the most unlikely of places. </p><p>Both family saga and coming-of-age story, <em>The Girl Who Fell to Earth</em> takes readers from the green valleys of the Pacific Northwest to the dunes of the Arabian Gulf and on to the sprawling chaos of Cairo. Struggling to adapt to her nomadic lifestyle, Sophia is haunted by the feeling that she is perpetually in exile: hovering somewhere between two families, two cultures, and two worlds. She must make a place for herself--a complex journey that includes finding young love in the Arabian Gulf, rebellion in Cairo, and, finally, self-discovery in the mountains of Sinai. </p><p><em>The Girl Who Fell to Earth</em> heralds the arrival of an electric new talent and takes us on the most personal of quests: the voyage home. </p>
