This book is nothing more then sales pitch for islam.

It leaves out all THE questions and controversies of Islam, such as female cutting, wife beating, sex inequality issues, religious intolerance, and the prosecution of same sex couples, all sanctioned under submission to Quran and Sharia.

If you really want a thought provoking book about Islam by a muslim woman, read:
Nomad From Islam to America by Ayaan Hirsi Ali.
In the Land of Invisible Women A Female Doctor's Journey in the Saudi Kingdom by Qanta A. Ahmed
For a little factual readings try this one:
I Am Nujood Age 10 and Divorced by Nujood Ali, Delphine Minoui
Sold by Patricia McCormick.

Those books will give you more accurate picture what living under Islam is truly like, today.
Skip this book full of glorified half truths, and denials of what DOES happen today all over the world, even here (Google -honor killing - USA and be ready to weep)

I really enjoyed this book. When I first read it, I was new to Islam. Some of the stories touched my heart because I was going through them. Now, several years after I have chosen Islam, I still enjoy reading this book. It helps to remember that I am not alone in my conversion. I am not alone in dealing with family issues. Muslim women are people too. We share some of the same hopes, desires and dreams. This is a very good book for people interested in Islam, and for families of those who have converted.
