Overview
A failed American writer finds his voice when he meets an Ethiopian woman in Cairo.
Description
Traveling to Egypt on a lark with a cheap plane ticket, an American man meets an Ethiopian woman who, after inviting him into her life, is arrested and asks him to save her by taking her to the United States. When she saves him in their conflicting search for the good life, it turns his understanding of her and the African diaspora on its head. In a rich and brutally honest account of their journey together and his hidden past, You Look Like Your Life takes the reader from the top of the universe to the bottom to somewhere in-between in a stranger than fiction genre-busting adventure.
