Finding My Way by Malala Yousafzai dives into the life of the author and delves deeper into the genre of memoir. It is excellently written with a clear voice that shows compassion, insight, and humor into the late teens and twenties of a young woman thrust into the public eye. I am married to an education nerd so some of that fascination has rubbed off on me and I was especially interested in learning how the Oxford system works as it seems so different from continuing education in the United States. I appreciated that Malala was not afraid to show her mistakes, mishaps, and missteps that are part of growing up. I also appreciated her focus and frank discussion of the importance of mental health care.
