It's more than a memoir; it's a spiritual guide." <b>--Gemma Hartley, author of <i>FED UP: Emotional Labor, Women, and the Way Forward</i></b> <p/> "Public speaker Zaman debuts with the powerful account of how she grew from being a voiceless girl to a woman with a confident 'roar'... This lovely work of hope and resilience will resonate with women struggling to find their voice and place in the world." <b>--<i>Publishers Weekly</i></b> <p/> "Zaman's debut memoir is radical self- and other-love, claimed and gathered through shining language, hard-won and thoughtful. It's poetry and social deconstruction and revolution - a book to be kept close at hand, a nightstand book lit from within by the audacity to cherish the Self, independent and whole." <b>--Jenny Forrester, author of <i>Narrow River, Wide Sky</i></b> <br><br><br><br> "The strength of the narrative portrays how a person who has contended with enormous tragedy can summon the resolve to confront and rise above it, and courageously share it with others... Memoir fans will appreciate Zaman's journey." <b>--<i>Library Journal</i></b> <p/> "Reema Zaman reveals a new way to write memoir--one that speaks back to trauma in her revolutionary style. <i>I Am Yours</i> has proved an essential guidebook for authors who wish to harness their internal witnesses and speak compassionately to themselves throughout the writing process." <b><i>--Brevity Magazine </i>blog review</b> <p/><br><br><p>"A healing book that lifts you up.

Powerfully vulnerable and eloquent, Zaman's voice is a fire--full-throated, wide-open, and roaring." <b>--<i>Foreword Reviews</i>, starred review</b> <p/> "Reema Zaman's writing is a revelation and a revolution for women everywhere. Her lyrical prose introduces you to a world that every woman has lived in at some point in her life: one of doubt, and fear, and relentless questioning of yourself and everything you know, and then breaks it all open to create new possibilities and hope, firmly grounded in resilience.
