Description

This is the heart-breaking true story of the life of a young Muslim girl growing up in England with her abusive family. The author shares her deepest and most painful memories as she is torn between her own feelings and needs and her family's oppressive rules and traditions. The story follows the daily struggle with her parents in England and then with her extended family while visiting Pakistan. Her future looks set to follow the same fate as her sisters, forced into marriage, used by her family to escape the poverty of their Pakistani village. She is desperate to break free but has nobody to turn to.
