Imagine a Yemeni girl of nine or ten, married off by her parents to a grown man who beats her and makes her "do his vile things" each night.
Imagine "a simple village girl who has always obeyed the orders of my father and brothers. Since forever, I have learned to say yes to everything. Today I have decided to say no." Rich in cultural details of Middle Eastern life, this true story of victory over injustice is "simple and straightforward in its telling…an informative and thoroughly engaging narrative," according to Publishers Weekly.
