Overview

Towards New Heights, written as an autobiography, could easily be confused with motivational literature or social poetry. Emilie, a rebellious spirit born towards the end of World War II, was paralyzed when she turned 20. Her emotional struggles against her affliction led her to unexpected insights into the human heart. The author includes few details about her life in the first chapter to establish a rapport with her reader before she embarks on a journey of social reflection. Her unique style of ferreting out salient points and expanding on them with a refreshing directness will leave the reader both breathless and thoughtful. Throughout the book Emile talks to her reader as a friend, not to discuss her personal tragedy, but to encourage the reader to aim Towards New Heights in all human endeavors. It is a call of rebellion against personal limitations and a declaration of war against mediocrity and injustice; complete with a road map towards victory. The writing is exquisite in its flowing grace, poetic expression, and measured cadence. It is translated from Arabic with meticulous accuracy and faithful rendition of the author's intent. This book is a must-read for anyone who lost faith in the human heart or simply needs affirmation that life is truly beautiful and worth living, even in its darkest moments.
