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.
