An award-winning, entertaining and often humorous memoir of a young boy coming of age in Morocco during the 1950's at the height of the cold war, while his military family becomes enmeshed in Morocco's troubled relationship with its French colonial overlords, it's fascinating Islamic history, and its egalitarian tribal culture. Much more than a memoir-an enlightening Morocco guidebook and a captivating book club pick.

Imbued with a sense of warmth and authenticity, Morocco is an emotional and profoundly personal story that strikes the perfect balance between humor and nostalgia while engaging readers with sharp insights and vivid imagery of the times and places it covers.

A poignant and evocative exploration of a unique childhood growing up between two worlds-one shaped by American military life, the other by the rich traditions of Morocco-the book successfully blends memories with the history of both countries, while bringing to life the beauty of Moroccan philosophies of family and community.
