Luma Mufleh
“Masters the beauty of vulnerability.”—Shondaland
“A powerful, honest account of an activist’s experiences of being gay in a culture she loves but in which it’s hard to see a place for herself.”—Kirkus Reviews, starred review
It’s hard to say goodbye when you don’t want to go.
Growing up as a teenager in Amman, Jordan, in the 1980s and ’90s, Luma might not have had the words to describe her sexuality—there is no word for gay in Arabic—but she knew enough to keep it a secret. If discovered, her conservative religious community wouldn’t hesitate to kill her. As a member of a wealthy and influential family in the city, her last name protected her but would only go so far, and she feared that her family, whom she loved so much, would cast her out.
But keeping her sexuality a secret wasn’t something she could live with either, and Luma spent her teen years becoming increasingly desperate. It was heartbreakingly simple—to live, she would have to leave. And so, Luma makes the tough decision to apply for asylum in the United States while attending college, causing her family to break ties with her when she refuses to return home.
Relying on the grace of friends and strangers alike, Luma begins to build a new life, one where she can fully embrace her identity as a gay Muslim woman. Slowly she forges a new path forward with both her biological and chosen families while never forgetting where she’s from.

批評家のレビュー
“Activist and author Luma Mufleh masters the beauty of vulnerability in her latest memoir, From Here. Growing up in Jordan . . . Mufleh had to hide the person she was becoming, especially as she grappled with her attraction toward women. Mufleh understood that if anyone found out she was a lesbian, her life could be in danger. When she’s accepted into college in the United States, Mufleh leaves Jordan and has to carve out a difficult new path as a refugee, finding support through friends who eventually became like family.”—Shondaland
“This is a must-add to any high school biography/memoir section. Mufleh’s story is one of strength and courage, and shines light on the injustices in our world . . . She adeptly balances the luxury of her experience in Jordan with the conflict she often felt as a gay Muslim woman. It weaves together experiences from Muslim faith, being gay and not accepted by family, immigration, and the Middle East. . . . You need to put this one on your high school shelf now, but it won’t stay there long.”—School Library Journal, starred review
“A powerful, honest account of an activist’s experiences of being gay in a culture she loves but in which it’s hard to see a place for herself . . . Mufleh’s raw descriptions of finding her place in the world are relatable: Questions of choosing between living your truth or your family’s will speak to readers of many backgrounds . . . Mufleh’s journey shows that acceptance and reconciliation are possible and that those we love can grow and learn . . . A poignant glimpse into human imperfections and the struggle to find one’s place in the world.”—Kirkus Reviews, starred review
“This affecting memoir by refugee advocate Mufleh (Learning America) chronicles her internal struggle to reconcile her identity as a gay Arab Muslim woman. Via clear-eyed prose . . . this poignant reflection on choice, family, and living one’s truth provides insight into Mufleh’s relationship with her heritage, and how these experiences helped shape her identity and advocacy work.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review
“Mufleh details fears Arab women constantly encounter . . . [s]he methodically shares her struggles with coming out to her family and coming to terms with sexual abuse. Readers will admire Mufleh’s courage to fight for her own rights and her dedication to helping others . . . This story is a reminder that we have the right to live how we want and love who we want.”—Booklist
