Biography

Imagine you coming home happy and already had the day planed of the fun things you want to do like every typically ten year old but was stunned when your father tells you you’re being married off.  What would you do how would you feel? 

Nujood is just like every typically ten year old girl she likes to play and have fun with other little girls, she is very respectful and even help around the house, Nujood comes home from school hoping to have the house work done and have fun with her friends but later was stunned when her father told her she is getting married to a man three times her age and that she won’t be able to go to school anymore.  Getting married off was the last thing on Nujood mind made her so upset at her father, Nujood left the house without having a say in her wedding. Nujood learned to heat her husband after the abuse and mistreat she had nujood stepped up and filed for a divorced. What will the people think?

This book is written in first person and it may cause you to jump off your seat, this book is written in so much details that you also feel Nujood’s pain and happiness and puts you in the spot of nujood “…yes its true Nujood story carries a message of hope in this country of the Arabian peninsula…” This book was written to let people see the pain of child marriage the struggle and fight for a woman freedom.

Overall after reading this book you may think of the things you’ve been taking advantage of and you may think of the right and freedom you have other people can’t have. I recommend this book to people, who are more interested in biography and the fight for freedom, after reading this book it really made me think about the female species out there who really need help and the kids who are being married off, after reading this book you may feel the same way.
