Descrizione Tomorrow, God Willing - Self-Made Destinies in Cairo
Thus Umm Ali sums up the nearly impossible challenge of her daily existence. Living in a poor neighborhood of Cairo, she has raised eight children with almost no help from the husband or the Egyptian government and through hardships from domestic violence to constant quarrels over material possessions. As Umm Ali recounts triumphs and defeats, she unveils a deeply reflective attitude and her unwavering belief that she can improve her situation. Showing how Egyptian culture interprets poverty and family, this book attests to the capacity of an individual's self-worth to withstand incredible adversity.
