About the memoir
At just sixteen,
Djenane Nakhle left Egypt—her homeland, her family, and all she knew—amid political upheaval. That rupture launched a remarkable journey across four continents, leading her to Switzerland, Lebanon, France, and ultimately the United States, where she embraced the vibrant energy of New York City.

Along the way, Djenane maintains an unshakeable “I can do it” mindset to face the challenges of relocations, motherhood, a tumultuous marriage, love affairs, and divorce. Always keeping her chin up, she shares her transformation from a sheltered childhood steeped in tradition and patriarchy to a self-made woman defined by agency and professional status. She breaks barriers to become an award-winning researcher, valedictorian, and clinical psychologist in private practice.

Her powerful memoir,
Finding Home: From Cairo to New York, is a riveting true story of resilience—overcoming obstacles and pursuing one’s inner purpose. It will resonate with anyone who has faced displacement, struggled to reclaim their voice, or dared to start over on their own terms and values.

Finding Home: From Cairo to New York is a deeply intimate yet universally resonant memoir, a tribute to the human spirit. Djenane reveals the losses and heartbreaks, as well as the joys and successes that shaped her. Most importantly, she shows relentless courage and drive, regardless of the circumstances, to accomplish her goals.

“I hope Finding Home empowers others to follow their purpose—at their own time, in their own way.”
Djenane Nakhle

📕This memoir is for anyone who has
• Searched for belonging across borders

J. ¡ October 18, 2025

A must read! This memoir truly spoke to my soul. That yearning for home -for a place to belong and make it in this vast world- reflects a quiet strength so many immigrant women carry yet are rarely acknowledged for. I can relate deeply. Djenane captured those trials and tribulations with such grace and introspection and the “I can do it” spirit shines as a guiding light through every page.

Dr Nakhle’s story is a powerful and intimate memoir that is a palate of experiences that span cultures, languages, countries and personal identities.

J.E.E. ¡ October 10, 2025

I don't understand why the author would plan to have children with a man she plans to divorce. Then, despite her dislike of the man and her years-long separation from him, and falling in love with several others, she doesn't divorce him for many years. She only offers feeble excuses for this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Autobiography: A woman’s search for home and profession

J.B. ¡ January 30, 2025

Dr. Nackle’s book is an unusually candid memoir by a prestigious psychologist, born and raised in Egypt, who successfully established a practice in New York after obtaining a PhD at age 50. A pleasure to read, the book would serve as a guide to many women in search for a profession. Her perseverance when confronted by a challenging, changing environment, was amply rewarded.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read!
