I Have Iraq in My Shoe

Irreverent, hilarious, and completely relevant, I Have Iraq in My Shoe is a memoir that's sure to resonate with the many 20-somethings struggling to find their place in the world. Taking the wit of Jen Lancaster and the fun of Sophie Kinsella and moving it to the desert, this is the story of a single, fashion-conscious, socially liberal American female who finds herself strapping on a Kevlar minidress to work in Iraq for a year. Saucy and smart, it's a tale of lessons-those both taught and learned-and all in the midst of a war zone: from teaching Iraqi women in headscarves while wearing designer pumps to learning the pitfalls of astronomical luggage fees.
