Podcast appearances and mentions of barbara marlowe

Barbara Marlowe and her daughter, Teeba Furat Marlowe, joined me to share their remarkable story of love, hope and fate.  At the ripe age of almost 2, Teeba suffered severe life-threatening burns after her father's car hit a roadside bomb in Iraq in 2003.  A July 16, 2006 newspaper story of the incident would catch the eye of Barbara Marlowe, leading her on the most emotional and awe-inspiring journey of her life.  She would bring Teeba to the U.S. exactly one year later - July 16, 2007 - and would formulate a bond with her soon-to-be-daughter, and her daughter's Iraqi family, that is so unbelievable that you have to hear it for yourself. You can buy their book, "A Brave Face: Two Cultures, Two Families, and the Iraqi Girl Who Bound Them Together," on Amazon.

This. This is exactly what I've been talking with all of you about; the idea that to change the world, you must only listen to - then act upon - those little whispers in the heart.  That's what Barbara Marlowe did when she saw a newspaper photograph of a little girl who desperately needed help. Their story is in the book "A Brave Face"  which I encourage you to pick up and read.   Barbara and Teeba shared their story with me also, and I can not wait for you all to hear what they had to say.  It's touching, awe inspiring, and so full of heart and soul, it will make you weep with joy. ~ Delilah Learn more about your ad-choices at https://news.iheart.com/podcast-advertisers

When she wasn’t even 2 years old, Teeba was a victim of a roadside car bombing that took place in the Diyala Province of Iraq. Teeba recounts the events of the bombing that disfigured her face, head, hands and legs and took her brother’s life. This incredible story begins in Iraq but travels to the United States when a woman, Barbara Marlowe, was captivated by Teeba’s story and photograph in the newspaper. Wanting to supply a wig for Teeba, events quickly escalated and soon Barbara welcomed Teeba into her family.   In my time with Teeba, you’ll learn of her perseverance through the hard times in Iraq, her family’s insistence to do whatever it took to help Teeba gain a functional life, and the love between two families of two different cultures that surpasses ignorance and prejudice.  Teeba’s story is inspiring as it is educational. I can’t wait for you to hear from this insanely intelligent and mature 16 year old about the incredible lessons that life has given to her.   Pre-Order Teeba's Book, A Brave Face   Thank you so much for listening.
