Tears of the Desert: A Memoir of Survival in Darfur by Halima Bashir

5.0

Better to have died and preserved one's dignity, than to have suffered the soul death of rape-that's what the Massalit and the Zaghawa, believed.

At least God, let me die quickly. Please God, let it be painless. Please God, don't let them torture my soul.
