Country Jumper in Iraq: A Journey of Discovery and Resilience

In Country Jumper in Iraq, Alane Adams shares her extraordinary journey as a woman working in a male-dominated field in the heart of a war-torn country.

Adams was a young engineer fresh out of college when she arrived in Iraq in 2003. She was immediately plunged into a world of danger and chaos, where she had to learn to navigate not only the physical challenges of her job but also the social and cultural challenges of being a woman in a Muslim country.

Despite the challenges, Adams persevered. She worked tirelessly to rebuild Iraq's infrastructure, and she became a trusted advisor to both the Iraqi government and the U.S. military. She also formed deep bonds with the Iraqi people, who taught her about their culture and history.

Country Jumper in Iraq is a gripping memoir that offers a unique perspective on the war in Iraq and the challenges facing women in STEM fields. Adams's story is one of courage, resilience, and hope, and it will inspire readers of all ages.
