Discover an incredible true story full of travel, adventure, and an unexpected romance with Myrna Kinsinger Farraj's enthralling new memoir, My Heart is Singing . The year is 1957. Myrna has just graduated college and is expected to become a teacher in the Midwest. Instead, she defies everyone's expectations, perhaps even her own, when she enrolls in Mennonite service and accepts a teaching post at an all-girls school in Amman, Jordan. There, the shy farm girl who seldom ventured outside her sheltered community discovers a vibrant world full of brand-new tastes, sounds, and cultures. As Myrna endears herself to this strange new land, she meets a handsome, determined young man from Jericho who promptly sweeps her off her feet. The two soon embark on an epic romance that will change their lives forever. Their relationship, however, is filled with seemingly insurmountable challenges. Told through her writings and the real life letters between Myrna and her sweetheart, My Heart is Singing beautifully illustrates the realities of a young love facing unusual obstacles.
