They don’t talk about the time you stand in an airport with your whole life in a suitcase pretending you’re brave enough for what comes next. They don’t talk about the nausea that sits in your stomach when the plane takes off. They don’t talk about the way your chest tightens when you realize there is no easy way back.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI left behind the version of me that was understood without explanation, the one that belonged without effort, and the one that spoke without fear of being corrected. And I became the one who hesitated before speaking, the one who replayed conversations in her head at night, and the one who began to doubt parts of herself she had never questioned before.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI worked jobs that had nothing to do with my dreams, and I smiled at customers while translating words in my head. I counted tips and prayed they would stretch far enough. I told my family on the phone that I was “fine” because I didn’t want them to hear the loneliness in my voice.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eImmigration strips you down. It takes your confidence, your comfort, and it exposes your insecurities. It makes you grieve a version of yourself that once felt whole. But somewhere between the exhaustion and the doubt, something inside me refused to die, a stubborn and unreasonable dream that whispered: “\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYou did not leave everything to become less”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. So, I studied when I was tired, I applied when I was afraid, and I kept going when I felt invisible.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis book is not just about success but about the breaking that preceded it. It is about insecurity, shame, doubt, and the moments when I almost gave up. It is about what happens when a woman rebuilds herself from nothing, in a language that once scared her and in a place that once made her feel like she did not belong.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books Prime","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45915626275007,"sku":"f3331018-7fc3-4c1a-acc9-56275b6f14a4","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0761\/7550\/7647\/files\/f61ed754dc31bc3744e974f2a51ea857.jpg?v=1785080985","url":"https:\/\/books-prime.com\/products\/between-two-skies","provider":"Books Prime","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
