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

pick

If you can withstand reading the harrowing content of physical & sexual abuse then I encourage you to read this incredible heart pounding true story of resilience & survival. Your perspective of what it means to endure will shift drastically. The “shame” these girls faced was heartbreaking. In their culture your virginity is a sign of honor & even though they were held in captivity not everyone regarded their plight.

Cinfhen I can‘t believe this was happening in 2014/2015 and I‘m sure many are still in captivity today @Kalalalatja @Crazeedi it‘s absolutely heartbreaking 😢💔 5y

TrishB I definitely can‘t do this NF at the moment. 💔 5y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Great picture, and I see you‘re back with the tough reads! I‘m glad this one was at least a pick of a tough read. 5y

Cinfhen It was both a tough read but a rewarding one @Riveted_Reader_Melissa I‘m finding these true life survival stories pretty inspiring right now. Definitely a HARD PASS for you @TrishB 5y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Cinfhen I understand that...and I‘ve been reading a lot of female issue centered ones myself...Catch and Kill for about a scandal for instance, She Said, Brave, Rage Becomes Her... I‘m currently reading Crash Override which is about Gamergate, something I knew little about going in.

Crash Override: How Gamergate (Nearly) Destroyed My Life, and How We Can Win the Fight Against Online Hate

Cinfhen Thanks for the recommendation @Riveted_Reader_Melissa your tagged book sounds really interesting ♥️ 5y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Cinfhen You‘re welcome...not sure what I‘d count it for on the NF Card, but it is interesting and I‘m using it for my “new to me” Booked2020 list 5y

Cinfhen I‘m thinking your tagged book might work for the #Cybersecurity box @Riveted_Reader_Melissa ??? 5y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Cinfhen I might.... I had another one slotted for that, but you know how life goes, I may never get to it and use this one instead. 5y
