Very Interesting
Published by Author Jenn , 7 months ago
I received this book as a gift about 5yrs ago. I hate that it took me so long to read it. Very interesting. This book taught me many things, about the Muslim culture and religion. Shyima gave amazing pointers to watch for if you suspect a working child slave. Even though I have never me Shyima, I am very proud of her and her journey. It takes so much strength and courage to move on and better your life when you have experienced trauma. Very well written book. I think every American should read!
