I Am Nujood, Age 10 and Divorced by Delphine Minoui, Nojoud Ali
5.0
This book was heartbreaking and memorable.
At only ten years old, Nujood is forced to marry a man three times her age. He forces himself on her going as far as to beat her when she tries to pull away. This child, who only wants to draw and play with others, is now a wife, and is expected to perform all of her duties.
Nujood is courageous and strong, leading the way for other girls like herself - young and scared.
Her story is captivating and harrowing.
