Book Review of I Am Nujood, Age 10 and Divorced

I Am Nujood, Age 10 and Divorced
reviewed on + 84 more book reviews


It is so sad to read this, I had just spent the holidays with my nieces, who are the same age as Nujood was when she was married off. My nieces, playing with toys, sneaking deserts off the buffet, opening hatchlings, laughing and being kids. Then reading of Nujood, the horrors she went through when her "husband" did not honor the wishes of her father. Her strength to get away. She was the first to be able to get divorced, but hers is not an isolated case. Sadly, this happens hundreds of times a week to hundreds of little girls.
