The Girl Who Escaped Isis: This Is My Story by Farida Khalaf, Andrea C. Hoffmann

dark emotional informative reflective sad tense medium-paced

4.0

 I got this book during the Audible two for one credit sale, so I was doubly pleased with this book. I have read several books about terrorism and religious extremism in the middle east, but I have not read much about ISIS as an entity. I cannot imagine being a female in this climate. The oppression is unreal, the abuse is unreal. This particular girl had her town invaded by ISIS, resulting her being sold into sex slavery. Her story is heart breaking, but the resilience and fact that she found a way out of that negative situation and was able to share her story and raise awareness of what was really going on was amazing. I enjoyed this book.
