This week's Book Trailer highlights one of the more unusual true stories that have come out of the Middle East since all the madness started there. It is about a young woman from Pakistan by the name of Maria Toorpaki who passed herself off as a boy so that she could have some kind of a life, and in the process, became a squash champion in that mess of a country.
Maria's memoir is called "A Different Kind of Daughter: The Girl Who Hid from the Taliban in Plain Sight" and the video material is from ABC News.
