 This book is about the abduction of 276 girls from a local boarding school in Chibok, Nigeria in 2014. The abduction was carried out by Boko Haram, a Nigerian terrorist organization that wishes to overthrow the government and establish one based on Islamic law. Some of the girls were able to escape, later to be interviewed by the author of this book.

The stories in this book were deeply emotional. I cannot imagine being in this type of situation. I thought the author did a good job of communicating the stories of the people in this book. I also learned a great deal about Boko Haram. I remember reading about this incident in the news, but I didn't know much about the organization before reading this book. As a side note, this book was about five hours to listen to on Audible, and is available on Audible Plus to listen to for free right now.
