In this beautifully written and insightful memoir, Al-Maria recounts her journey to find her place in the world. She travels the globe, from the green valleys of the Pacific Northwest to the dunes of the Arabian Gulf and on to the sprawling chaos of Cairo. She experiences different cultures, meets all sorts of people, and learns about her own heritage.

Along the way, Al-Maria comes to terms with her mixed identity and finds her place in the world. She realizes that she doesn't have to choose between her two worlds. She can be both American and Arab, both Western and Eastern. She can be a bridge between cultures, a translator of worlds.

The Girl Who Fell to Earth: is a powerful and moving story of self-discovery. It is a book that will resonate with anyone who has ever felt like they didn't belong. It is a book about finding your place in the world, even when you feel like you don't belong anywhere.
