My Life, My Food, My Kurdistan

More about the book

My Life, My Food, My Kurdistan is a compelling story of a woman who immigrated to the United States after Saddam Hussein's tyranny and purging of the Kurds in the 1970s. As a young girl, Chiman was in an arranged marriage, yet ultimately she tells a story of personal strength, achievement, and autonomy. She shows us that even the most turbulent journeys are often simultaneously rewarding.
