Based on interviews with young women who were kidnapped by Boko Haram, this poignant novel by Adaobi Tricia Nwaubani tells the timely story of one girl who was taken from her home in Nigeria and her harrowing fight for survival. Includes an afterword by award-winning journalist Viviana Mazza.

A new pair of shoes, a university degree, a husband—these are the things that a girl dreams of in a Nigerian village. And with a government scholarship right around the corner, everyone can see that these dreams aren’t too far out of reach.

But the girl’s dreams turn to nightmares when her village is attacked by Boko Haram, a terrorist group, in the middle of the night. Kidnapped, she is taken with other girls and women into the forest where she is forced to follow her captors’ radical beliefs and watch as her best friend slowly accepts everything she’s been told.

Still, the girl defends her existence. As impossible as escape may seem, her life—her future—is hers to fight for.

This story is VERY good to listen to. It is not an easy listen......it is so important to know what has happened to women over the world in war torn regions. Our sisters in this world - of every color and religion - need our support. This is a book to read and learn from.

Hard to listen to but VERY good

The dreams of a university education, the love of learning and being the first girl from her family to go to college all vanished . . . the day that Boko Haram ransacked their village. Powerfully told and heartbreakingly honest, this story will stay with me for a long, long time.
