WELCOME To My New Blog!

Wafa Faith Hallam, Author of The Road From Morocco

Welcome To my blog -



The Road From Morocco is a personal memoir, which recounts the extraordinary life of Saadia and her daughter Wafa. It transports readers back in time to a Middle Eastern society far removed from modern American sensibilities — to Morocco, where Saadia was born and wed against her will at thirteen. Based on recorded history and family memories, the book chronicles Saadia’s arranged marriage and hardships as a young mother to Wafa, a French-educated, sexually liberated Muslim woman, who traveled to Europe and then to America, reaching a top position on Wall Street — in theory, the fulfillment of her American dream but in reality an overwhelming experience that threatens everything she believes in. Like the best of fiction, this is an intensely personal emotional rollercoaster tale full of twists and turns, which make it hard to put down. In the words of a reader: “It's beautiful even in the heartbreaking moments and utterly exquisite in the pleasant ones.”

Editorial Review: “The more I read into Wafa Faith Hallam’s The Road from Morocco, the more I realized I was holding a book that—if all literary lights are not dimmed by convention—should become an instant classic. I honestly cannot recall a time when an autobiographical account has spoken to me as forcefully as Hallam’s memoir. In fact, I never ever read anything remotely comparable to it. Hallam’s trailblazing book shatters literary and social conventions with such force that it is bound to provoke strong reactions. The book contains precious lessons about why freedom and equal rights matter, why the male oppression of women in Arab and Muslim societies is a sad farce, why rich life experiences are still the only reliable ingredient for a soaring story, and why identity is a complex construct that is nearly impossible to tease apart.”  Professor A.

Author’s Welcome: 

Hello friends,

Some of you will remember that this blog first saw the light of day under the title “TheRoadFromMorocco.com”, which was pretty much put on the back burner for the last three years as I ran a gallery in my village and deepened my knowledge of spirituality and practice of the Conscious life.

At the beginning of this year, I decided it was high time for me to follow my bliss and devote 100% of my time and talent in what I am passionate about, spiritual awareness devoid of religious dogma.  Hence I am happy to say that I am now officially a full time author and writer, an inspirational teacher, a spiritual coach and a motivational speaker. My areas of expertise are Spiritual Expansion and Emotional Growth with a focus on how to master the Art of Happiness.  

I am also committed to Peace and Conflict Resolution questions as well as Women’s issues. My perspective is one of being the change we so desperately want to see in the world by becoming pioneers in Positive Change Without Struggle (PCWS).

I invite you to browse through my writings and submit your comments.  Dialogue is essential for progress.

Thank you and welcome,
Wafa
