Malala Yousafzai was thrust onto the global stage at age 15 after the Taliban's brutal attack on her life. Though millions knew her name, she struggled to find her place in the world.

Her new memoir is a story of searching for identity, an exploration of coming of age in the spotlight and an intimate portrait of her life today. This rare look at her private life traces Yousafzai's path from high school loner to reckless college student to a young woman at peace with her remarkable past.
