    Mary Terzian, a long standing member of the Writers' Club of Whittier,
    has been awarded Dan Poynter's 2012 Global E-Book Award for
    Multicultural Non-Fiction for her book, The Immigrants' Daughter: A
    Private Battle to Earn the Right to Self-actualization.

    Terzian, a freelance writer, was born in Egypt to Armenian parents and
    immigrated to the United States in 1967.

    The Immigrants' Daughter, a coming of age memoir on her experiences in
    Egypt, also won a Best Books 2006 Award and was finalist in Indie
    Excellence 2007 Book Awards, both in multicultural nonfiction. The
    book describes a fascinating journey through adolescence in search of
    oneself, and is an inspiring story overall.

    Three educational institutions have been interested in including
    excerpts from The Immigrants' Daughter in their curriculum materials
    targeted to high school and junior college students. One of them, the
    Department of Education in Queensland, Australia, posted an excerpt
    from the prologue on their website, with the author's permission, for
    use by their students and teachers.

    Terzian also contributes to newspapers, magazines, anthologies, and to
    publications online. She acknowledges that her Writers' Club
    affiliation has had an influence on bringing her stories alive, by
    increasing her objectivity.
