Publisher's Synopsis
Forging Strength: Overcoming Challenges is my story. From escaping war-torn Somalia to building a new life in America, I've faced some of life's harshest trials-and refused to give up.
I left home with nothing. No plan. No second chances. From moving through East Africa, learning English from scratch, and later, into the ranks of the Marine Corps, every chapter of my life tested my strength and shaped who I am today.
If you've ever felt like the odds were against you...
If you've ever needed proof that it's possible to keep going...
This memoir is for you.
