"The Immigrants’ Daughter” Accepted into Nomination for Global E-Book Awards

Feb. 23, 2012 - PRLog -- Hacienda Heights, California – Mary Terzian’s e-book, The Immigrants’ Daughter, an inspirational memoir tweaking destiny from a bleak future to a horizon of opportunities, has been accepted into nomination for the Global E-Book Awards. The winners will be selected after the March 12 deadline, and honored at the awards ceremony in Santa Barbara, California, on August 18, 2012.

In many countries around the world young women, destined primarily to a domestic role, struggle hard to live their own dream. Particularly in immigrant families younger generations willing to benefit from brighter opportunities are restrained by parents cast in traditional roles. The changes in ambiance, mentality and prevailing lifestyle widen the gap between the generations. Political, religious and cultural constraints further stifle evolving perspectives.

The Immigrants’ Daughter is the coming-of-age recount of the protagonist’s struggles to attain her dream. The book advocates pursuing one’s goal, facing obstacles squarely and taking calculated risks for changing the course – or curse - of destiny.  Per a Writer’s Digest commentary “the narrative is laced with the perfect mix of drama and humor, with some occasional sarcasm thrown in for good measure.”

The e-book version of The Immigrants’ Daughter is available for immediate download at Amazon.com, Booklocker.com, and from the digital shelves of Nook and Ipad for $9.99.
