The Immigrants' Daughter by Mary Terzian: An inspirational memoir for writers

The Immigrants' Daughter, by Mary Terzian, isn't about how to be a writer or how to hone your craft. Rather, it's an inspirational memoir about how determination and perseverance helped Terzian eventually realize her dreams of being a writer.

The Immigrants' Daughter tells the story of Terzian's childhood and coming-of-age, and how her determination to achieve an education made her career as a writer possible. The book tells of how, during her difficult childhood, she found solace in reading, and how she felt pressured to always be a good student. Above all, it's about one woman overcoming oppression - due to both her nationality and her sex - in her struggle to make what she wanted out of her life.

The Immigrants' Daughter is available through Booklocker.com, the POD publishing company run by the publishers of Writers Weekly. I bought the ebook version of the book, and I was surprised by how much I actually enjoyed reading the book on my laptop. Of course, the traditional print version of the book is available, as well. I highly recommend this book as an invigorating, inspiring read for anyone who has ever dreamed of being a writer!
