Publisher Description
AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!
“A coming-of-age tale as relatable as it is extraordinary” (W Magazine), this is a candid look at Nobel laureate and New York Times bestselling author Malala Yousafzai’s experiences as a young adult contending with anxiety and PTSD, personal growth, identity, and love.
This is not the story you think you know. It’s the one I’ve been waiting to tell.
Thrust onto the public stage at fifteen years old after the Taliban’s brutal attack on her life, Malala Yousafzai quickly became an international icon known for bravery and resilience. But away from the cameras and crowds, she spent years struggling to find her place in an unfamiliar world. Now, Malala takes us back to her formative college years at Oxford. Through candid, often messy moments like nearly failing exams, getting ghosted, and meeting the love of her life, she reminds us that real role models aren’t perfect—they’re human.
Finding My Way is a story of friendship and first love, of anxiety and self-discovery, of trying to navigate life as someone whose darkest moments threatened to define her narrative. “Finding My Way reveals the person beyond the symbol” (NPR), and testifies to the strength it takes to be unapologetically yourself.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Though her activism has made her an inspiration for girls and women everywhere, Malala Yousafzai’s second memoir reveals that she’s also a very real, relatable person. As an advocate for girls education, Yousafzai was just 15 when, in 2012, the Pakistani Taliban attempted to assassinate her. Surviving a near-lethal gunshot wound pushed her toward even greater activism (and a Nobel Peace Prize), but if these accomplishments placed her on a pedestal, she’s happy to step down from it. Here, Yousafzai candidly talks about the all-too-human aspects of her unusual life, like her complicated relationship with her mother and her struggle to balance her Oxford University course load with her speaking engagements that gave her the income to protect and uplift her family. And despite all she’s been through, she’s incredibly unguarded about all of it, even the magical afternoon go-karting with friends where she met her future husband. Yousafzai’s sincere story shows us that you don’t have to be perfect to make a difference.
