This book is exceptionally hard to rate. Nujood's story is necessary, tragic, and strong all at once. Her story is the story of hundreds of thousands of child brides. However, Nujood had the courage to try to change the hand that fate (her father and her culture) dealt her. Sadly, all doesn't end as the book suggests. Nujood is still the victim of her family's whims and has faded from the public eye. Now near 19, married and with two daughters of her own, her story shouldn't end with this book. We should never close the pages of her book and think she won her freedom. We have much work yet to do.
