About Maureen’s memoir:

Hand on My Heart juxtaposes Maureen Mayhew’s experiences as a foreign, female physician in Afghanistan with an exploration of identity as a professional woman in the 21st century. Travelling from one remote outpost to another, sharing cups of tea in secret, muddling through language barriers, and brokering trust with patients, she finds her Western beliefs challenged and tries to make sense of her own struggles with gender roles. With curiosity and tenderness, she reflects on moments of disorientation, fear, wonder, joy and personal growth. Mayhew’s memoir is a moving account that takes readers along an uncharted path into mysteries of the human heart.
