How do you rebuild yourself when your whole world changes overnight? When Malala Yousafzai was thrust onto the public stage, she was just fifteen years old. Forced to leave her home in Pakistan after the Taliban''s brutal attack on her life, she became an international icon - a young woman who embodied courage, resilience and hope. But underneath that outward-facing persona was a survivor grappling with how to move forward after her life was categorically and inalterably changed, set on a path that she never would have predicted. Finding My Way is a story of friendship and first love, of mental health and self-discovery, of trying to stay true to yourself while everyone else tries to define you. In her new book, Malala traces her path from high school loner to reckless college student to a young woman finally at peace. Along the way, she offers revealing and profound meditations on her struggles with anxiety, and the tightrope she walked to balance the weight of her public role with the private need to rediscover herself. In this unforgettable memoir, told with humour, vulnerability and piercing candidness, Malala reintroduces herself to the world, sharing how she navigated life as someone whose survival seemed to define her narrative - while seeking the freedom to find out who she truly is.

  How do you rebuild yourself when your whole world changes overnight?

  Thrust onto the public stage at fifteen years old after the Taliban's brutal attack on her life, Malala quickly became an international icon known for bravery and resilience. But away from the cameras and crowds, she spent years struggling to find her place in an unfamiliar world. Now, for the first time ever, Malala takes readers beyond the headlines in Finding My Way - a vulnerable, surprising memoir that buzzes with authenticity, sharp humour and tenderness.

  Finding My Way is a story of friendship and first love, of anxiety and self-discovery, of trying to stay true to yourself when everyone wants to tell you who you are. In it, Malala traces her path from high school loner to reckless college student to a young woman at peace with her past. Through candid, often messy moments like nearly failing exams, getting ghosted and meeting the love of her life, Malala reminds us that real role models aren't perfect - they're human.

  In this astonishing memoir, Malala reintroduces herself to the world, sharing how she navigated life as someone whose darkest moments threatened to define her - while seeking the freedom to find out who she truly is. Finding My Way is an intimate look at the life of a young woman taking charge of her destiny - and a deeply personal testament to the strength it takes to be unapologetically yourself.
