A very well written memoir about a very real tragedy that is ongoing for this poor mother of five in Pakistan. I decided to purchase this book to help her husband support his family. He and the children have been forced into hiding.
You can't help but be moved by her story. She is convicted of speaking out against the Prophet Muhammad. She is innocent...falsely accused. She is attacked for drinking out of a well that is frequented by Muslim women. Her crime is being Christian.
