Tomorrow to Be Brave

The only woman to serve in the French Foreign Legion describes how in 1940, she abandoned her privileged world to join the Free French, her work as driver for--and lover of--General Koenig of the Foreign Legion, and her heroism during the siege of Bir Hakeim and the battle against Rommel's forces.

She Got Up Off the Couch

A continuation of the best-selling memoir, A Girl Named Zippy, follows the story of her mother, Delonda, who reinvents her life by learning to drive, returning to college, and losing fifty pounds, achievements that coincide with Zippy's ongoing quest to work out the dynamic of their nuclear family.

Infidel

The author recounts the story of her life, from her traditional Muslim childhood in Somalia and escape from a forced marriage to her efforts to promote women's rights while surviving numerous threats to her safety.
