I Was Told to Come Alone (Paperback)

For her whole life, Souad Mekhennet, a reporter for the Washington Post who was born and educated in Germany, has had to balance the two sides of her upbringing - Muslim and Western. She has also sought to provide a mediating voice between these cultures, which too often misunderstand each other. This is her brave and powerful memoir. Her life and her quest are nothing less than THE modern story.
