Though she loved the freedom that came with being a career woman, she felt that something was missing from her life. One day a friend suggested that she visit a Sufi mosque in Tribeca. To her surprise, she discovered a home there, eventually marrying the mosque’s imam, Feisal Abdul Rauf, and finding herself, as his wife, at the center of a community in which women turned to her for advice. Guided by her faith, she embraced her role as a women’s advocate and devised innovative ways to help end child marriage, fight against genital mutilation, and, most recently, educate young Muslims to resist the false, seductive promises of ISIS recruiters.\u003cbr\u003e                   \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eBorn with Wings\u003c\/i\u003e is a powerful, moving, and eye-opening account of Daisy Khan’s inspiring journey—of her self-actualization and her success in opening doors for other Muslim women and building bridges between cultures.
