I Was Their American Dream: A Graphic Memoir by Malaka Gharib

5.0

I felt this book so much. Feeling like an outsider in your own country is a real feeling, and the search for your own identity and a sense of belonging are paramount.

I felt like I grew up alongside Malaka, on the quest for my own dream and sense of self.
