Dancing Into the Light

How does an Arab-American girl, moving across the middle east as her father follows his career, find her identity? And how is that search impacted when personal tragedy rocks her family? Kathryn Abdul-Baki started her life in the United States but then lived in Iran, Jerusalem, Kuwait, aware that her mother was different from the Arab mothers and that she, too, was different. Her relationships with those outside of the expat community grew as she grew, and Kathryn struggled to see how she fit in. When a devastating early loss changed her world forever, she had to learn to embrace all of who she was, through music, dancing, and the love and devotion of family.
