Author

Mary Terzian

Mary Terzian was born and brought up in Cairo. Her English high school education changes her philosophy on life, planting ideas of freedom and emancipation. She rebels against strict parental control by quitting home to live on her own. Terzian keeps writing as a sideline during her career, until she can afford formal college education. She becomes a multicultural hybrid through the influence of her foreign colleagues, supervisors and acquaintances at the UN, and by exposure to different cultures throughout her itinerant life. Terzian now lives in Southern California. Politically Homeless is her second book.
