✨Book Review✨

 Why Me? Why Not Me? Thank God, Me! by Kurush Khodaiji offers a compelling narrative at the intersection of personal adversity and social advocacy. It traces the remarkable journey of Gulshan Kavarana, a mother propelled by her daughter’s diagnosis into a life of relentless activism, carving out a space for Special Needs awareness and support within the United Arab Emirates and beyond.

The book succeeds on multiple levels: as an intimate portrait of a mother’s resilience, as a chronicle of grassroots social change, and as a motivational call to action for anyone searching for deeper purpose. Kavarana’s transformation from a determined parent to a pioneering changemaker is not romanticized but rendered with nuance—reflecting both the pain of the struggle and the passion that fuels it.

A particularly powerful motif is the phrase, “If you can’t find one, start one”—a seemingly casual suggestion that becomes the foundation of her journey. This moment underscores how agency, when combined with empathy and persistence, can lead to systemic change. Readers are invited not just to admire her accomplishments, but to reflect on the latent potential within their own lives to enact change, even in unfamiliar or daunting circumstances.

The text is valuable for discussions on disability advocacy, grassroots mobilization, and the sociocultural dynamics of caregiving in the Gulf region. But its accessible prose ensures that even readers without a background in social work, policy, or special education will find the narrative both relatable and deeply moving.

In conclusion, Why Me? Why Not Me? Thank God, Me! is not only a tribute to one woman's tenacity but a broader celebration of the human capacity to transform pain into purpose. It is recommended for educators, caregivers, policy makers, and anyone yearning for a story that affirms the power of belief, community, and action.
