A Different Kind of Daughter is a powerful memoir about a young
Pakistani girl who, until the age of twelve, was disguised as a boy
so she could compete in sports. 'Maria Toorpakai has risen from the
turmoil of tribal life in Pakistan to become not only a world-class
athlete, but a true inspiration, a pioneer for millions of other
women struggling to pave their own paths to autonomy, fulfilment
and genuine personhood' - Khaled Hosseini, author of The Kite
Runner Maria Toorpakai Wazir has lived her life disguised as a boy,
defying the Taliban, in order to pursue her love of sport. Coming
second in a national junior weightlifting event for boys, Maria
decided to put her future in her own hands by going in disguise.
When she discovered squash and was easily beating all the boys,
life became more dangerous. Heart-stopping and profoundly moving,
Maria shares the story of her long road and eventual triumph,
pursuing the sport she loved, defying death threats and following
her dream.
