About this listen
'Telling my story of first surviving genocide and then as a captive of ISIS is not easy, but people must know.'
The remarkable and courageous story of Nadia Murad, a 23-year-old Yazidi woman who is working with Amal Clooney to challenge the world to fight ISIS on behalf on her people. With a foreword by Amal Clooney.
A Nobel Peace Prize nominee, the first Goodwill Ambassador for the Dignity of Survivors of Human Trafficking of the United Nations and winner of the Vaclav Havel Human Rights Prize, Nadia Murad is a courageous young woman who has endured unimaginable tragedy (losing 18 members of her family) and degradation through sexual enslavement to ISIS. But she has fought back.
This inspiring memoir takes us from her peaceful childhood in a remote village in Iraq through loss and brutality to safety in Germany. Courage and testimony can change the world: this is one of those books.

Get your sheltered teen-agers to read this
Describes a world that is full of nuance, inhabited by humans, not angels and demons.
At the beginning Nadia is grateful for the simple small blessings she has as a poor yazidi in a remote village, for example for being able to go to school.
It describes horrible events without being needlessly horrifying.
I wish all the privileged, sheltered teen-agers around me would read this and get some perspective.

Touching story but narration was distracting
It’s A very touching story but
Sometimes narrators voice was a bit too dramatic, which distracted from the story. This could be the case when its better to
Read the book than to listen to it.
