      Synopsis

      November 15, 2008: Growing up in your own country is difficult enough, but as an immigrant always in transit has to be a burden most of us will never have to bear. Mary?s journey is a triumph over culture and family tradition. In Cairo when King Farouk and Queen Farida have a daughter the celebration is subdued. A boy would have brought jubilation and five pounds to every family ? the girl produces two. Mary talks to her mother and figures it out. Girls are worth less, but that doesn?t break Mary?s spirit. She?s bright and intelligent enough to see through the double standard. And in her school, work and travels she manages to stays ahead of the game with a genteel wit and disarming humor that always rubs the right way.
