Finding My Way

How do you rebuild yourself when your whole world changes overnight? When Malala Yousafzai was thrust onto the public stage, she was just fifteen years old. Forced to leave her home in Pakistan after the Taliban's brutal attack on her life, she became an international icon - a young woman who embodied courage, resilience and hope. But underneath that outward-facing persona was a survivor grappling with how to move forward after her life was categorically and inalterably changed, set on a path that she never would have predicted. Finding My Way is a story of friendship and first love, of mental health and self-discovery, of trying to stay true to yourself while everyone else tries to define you. In her new book, Malala traces her path from high school loner to reckless college student to a young woman finally at peace. Along the way, she offers revealing and profound meditations on her struggles with anxiety, and the tightrope she walked to balance the weight of her public role with the private need to rediscover herself. In this unforgettable memoir, told with humour, vulnerability and piercing candidness, Malala reintroduces herself to the world, sharing how she navigated life as someone whose survival seemed to define her narrative - while seeking the freedom to find out who she truly is.
