I Knew (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789395266185)

This is a book of valor, of not giving up, of starting all over again at the beginning, of never saying die! While reading this book, if there awakens anything but a sense of respect and awe for the hero of this book, then I as an author stand failed in my duties.

Born in Saudi Arabia, gender mistaken for a girl at birth, Farah had to wage war with herself and with the world to emerge as Farahan.

The medical intrusions that Farah was subjected to and the medications that followed had a role to play, they even influenced her thinking but her will to win and her faith in God Almighty could not subdue the struggle to resuscitate as Farahan.

While at one of the many mind-picking sessions we have had while writing this book, "Why do you have to smile all the time?" I couldn't help but ask.

And the answer came with a wider grin!

"When you have seen it through the eyes of a daughter, a sister, a brother, a wife, a husband... when you have known the struggle of being on the other side, all that remains to do is smile!"
