Before she was 20 years old, Malala Youfsafzai was shot in the face by a Taliban gunman, recovered, and became a global advocate for girls’ education. In her new memoir, “Finding My Way,” Yousafzai writes about her journey after that, going to Oxford University with a security detail, falling in love, and navigating post-traumatic stress disorder.
