CUTV News Radio Spotlights Mary Terzian, Author of 'Politically Homeless'

Hacienda Heights, CA – Born into an immigrant family (migrated from Armenia) in Egypt, Ms. Terzian has written two award winning memoirs in English about her life. Both have been well received by the press (Kirkus Reviews, Writer’s Weekly, The Sunday New York Times Book Review, and others) and led her to become an in-demand speaker. As one Amazon.com reviewer of her latest memoir Politically Homeless, states “Terzian’s book reflects the universal struggles of immigrants who have lost their homeland and have to re-start life elsewhere.” Her story is an inspiration to girls and women everywhere. She has also been featured in Marquis Who’s Who, yet she remains soft and humble. “I never advertise myself but still get recognition,” she says.

Ms. Terzian’s biography mentions how she grew up surrounded by rich languages like Arabic, Turkish and Greek, in addition to her own Armenian tongue, and the French and English of her primary education. These languages cultivated her love of words. Her first memoir, The Immigrant’s Daughter focuses on early life, cultural roots, and aspirations. Politically Homeless takes the story forward to her arrival in The U.S. (with the support of the American Embassy in Beirut). That was back in 1967. She since achieved her dream of a college education (at California State University in Los Angeles, with a BS in Business Administration.) Writing remained a sideline until retirement, when she found time for her true calling.
