Desert Flower by Waris Dirie
4.0
I would give this book 5 stars... but I can say with all honesty; this is not a book to be enjoyed.
It is scary, disturbing, confronting, but... nevertheless, it must be read.
It has me up late worrying about the 2 million girls (world-wide) being circumcised every year. Most of them under the age of five. Most of them die, all get infections, and all suffer life-long consequences. And some of them, are in Australia. I can’t explain the affects of this book. It must be read.
