520    "'Maria Toorpakai is a true inspiration, a pioneer for 
       millions of other women struggling to pave their own paths
       to autonomy, fulfillment, and genuine personhood'--Khaled 
       Hosseini, author of The Kite Runner, A Thousand Splendid 
       Suns, and And the Mountains Echoed. Maria Toorpakai hails 
       from Pakistan's violently oppressive northwest tribal 
       region, where the idea of women playing sports is 
       considered haram--un-Islamic, forbidden--and girls rarely 
       leave their homes. But she did, passing as a boy in order 
       to play the sports she loved, thus becoming a lightning 
       rod of freedom in her country's fierce battle over women's
       rights. A DIFFERENT KIND OF DAUGHTER tell of Maria's 
       harrowing journey to play the sport she knew was her 
       destiny, first living as a boy and roaming the violent 
       back alleys of the frontier city of Peshawar, rising to 
       become the number one female squash player in Pakistan. 
       For Maria, squash was more than liberation--it was 
       salvation. But it was also a death sentence, thrusting her
       into the national spotlight and the crosshairs of the 
       Taliban, who wanted Maria and her family dead. Maria knew 
       her only chance of survival was to flee the country. Enter
       Jonathon Power, the first North American to earn the title
       of top squash player in the world, and the only person to 
       heed Maria's plea for help. Recognizing her determination 
       and talent, Jonathon invited Maria to train and compete 
       internationally in Canada. After years of living on the 
       run from the Taliban, Maria packed up and left the only 
       place she had ever known to move halfway across the globe 
       and pursue her dream. Now Maria is well on the way to 
       becoming a world champion as she continues to be a voice 
       for oppressed women everywhere"--|cProvided by publisher. 
520    Coming from a Pakistani tribal region where women playing 
       sports is forbidden, the author discusses how she passed 
       as a boy in order to be an athlete, thus becoming a 
       lightning rod for women's freedom in her country.
