WINNER OF THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE In this courageous (The Washington Post) memoir of survival, a former captive of the Islamic State tells her harrowing and ultimately inspiring story.Nadia Murad was born and raised in Kocho, a small village of farmers and shepherds in northern Iraq. A member of the Yazidi community, she and her brothers and sisters lived a quiet life. Nadia had dreams of becoming a history teacher or opening her own beauty salon.On August 15th, 2014, when Nadia was just twentyone years old, this life ended. Islamic State militants massacred the people of her village, executing men who refused to convert to Islam and women too old to become sex slaves. Six of Nadias brothers were killed, and her mother soon after, their bodies swept into mass graves. Nadia was taken to Mosul and forced, along with thousands of other Yazidi girls, into the ISIS slave trade.Nadia would be held captive by several militants and repeatedly raped and beaten. Finally, she managed a narrow escape through the streets of Mosul, finding shelter in the home of a Sunni Muslim family whose eldest son risked his life to smuggle her to safety.Today, Nadias storyas a witness to the Islamic States brutality, a survivor of rape, a refugee, a Yazidihas forced the world to pay attention to an ongoing genocide. It is a call to action, a testament to the human will to survive, and a love letter to a lost country, a fragile community, and a family torn apart by war.

The first half of the book was hard to get through, felt a bit slow. However, the latter half really picked up and made it worth it. I appreciated the insights into her experience. Just have patience with it!

Important but tough subject matter
While I found the story incredibly important, the details were sometimes hard to digest. It’s a must-read for understanding the impact of ISIS, but be prepared for some heavy content. The author's resilience shines through.

A gripping read from start to finish
This book took me on an emotional rollercoaster. The author's courage in recounting her story of captivity is nothing short of inspiring. I couldn't put it down and finished it in two days!
