Who do you become when the identity you've built over a lifetime is challenged?
At age fifty-six, Joan Heiman traded her life in Denver for a teaching position at a women's college in Abu Dhabi-driven less by wanderlust than by a [...] dental bill. A seasoned traveler, counselor, and teacher for more than thirty years, she knew how to be a stranger in a strange land. Or so she thought.
Here, every time she found her footing, another cultural collision shifted the sand beneath her, holding up a mirror to the woman she thought she knew well. Nothing in a lifetime of wandering had prepared her for this.
Her students-young Emirati women, fierce and funny and not easily won over-became her most demanding teachers. Through their resistance, mischief, and ultimately love, they eroded the wall between different and familiar, revealing the longing for recognition, respect, and connection that crosses every border ever drawn.
Warm, funny, and deeply moving, An Unintended Pilgrimage is a memoir about ego and surrender, the people who hold us together when we're coming apart, and the messy, beautiful work of becoming a more open human being.
