In her first book, the autobiographical novel, Skyggeferden (The journey of a shadow, ebook: ISBN 9788282820233), she describes the deep impact of her cultural journey.[1] Azmeh Rasmussen's journey was not only cultural but also politically ideological and religious. Her conversion from Islam to Christianity took place in Damascus, and she was baptized even at the risk of her life. A few years later, she became a secular humanist.[2]
