From Found Art (Discovering Beauty in Foreign Places) by Leeana Tankersley:

During this journey, I discovered it was high time I felt the losses, collected the pieces, and reclaimed myself. That’s the thing about these journeys into foreign places. They have a way of making us different if we will let them.

What I like about Found Art:

• It’s a memoir. (I’m crazy for memoirs.)
• It’s a memoir of a woman living overseas. (Hey, I lived overseas!)
• It’s a memoir of a woman living in the Middle East. (Brilliant! I lived in Indonesia.)
• The 25 Discussion Prompts in the back of the book. (Conversation is one reason we read books, especially a book like this one. Americans really have little understanding of what it is like to live in a Muslim culture.)

What I didn’t like about Found Art:

• Lack of pictures. Memoirs lend themselves to photographs, don’t you think. I would’ve loved to see images of the places Tankersley visited and lived.

• The cover. Lovely colors but those swaths of red, yellow green and blue – while as vibrant as the stories in the book – it doesn’t convey what the book is really about. A trifle complaint, but this is my blog, my opinion.

Read Found Art to discover one young woman’s experience of transformation while living in the Middle East.
