Nomad:
From Islam to America- A Personal Journey Through the Clash of
Civilizations
by Ayaan Hirsi Ali
Hirsi
Ali tells of coming to America to build a new life, an ocean away
from the death threats made to her by European Islamists, the strife
she witnessed, and the inner conflict she suffered. It is the story
of her physical journey to freedom and, more crucially, her
emotional journey to freedom. |

Some
Girls: My Life in a Harem
by Jillian Lauren
At
eighteen, Jillian Lauren was an NYU theater school dropout with a
tip about an upcoming audition. The "casting director"
told her that a rich businessman in Singapore would pay pretty
American girls $20,000 if they stayed for two weeks to spice up his
parties. Soon, Jillian was on a plane to Borneo, where she would
spend the next eighteen months in a harem.

Season
of Suffering:
Coming of Age in Occupied France, 1940-45
by Nicole H. Taflinger
Born
in 1927, Nicole Braux's earliest recollections occur in the French
city of Nancy, where her father owned and operated a hotel and
restaurant. Her charming reflections paint a picture of a romantic
culture still wounded by the First World War. Written decades ago
but never published, the author's guileless voice enhances her
adolescent memories of the German occupation and illustrates the
immense emotional toll of war.
