Summary
"During the early American presence in Iran under the Shah and the burgeoning years of Kuwait's early oil boom, Kathryn Abdul-Baki grows up within both the expatriate Western communities and the larger Middle Eastern societies of Kuwait and Jerusalem. Hers is a story of belonging to two vastly different cultures and the search to find the inherent harmony in worlds at odds with each other. Caught in the joys of and the struggle of being both Arab and American and yet not fully either, Kathryn's young life of promise is disrupted by tragedy. Dancing Into the Light is a story of love, loss, and renewal and of overcoming devastating early trauma through music, dancing, and the love and devotion of family"--Back cover.
