This is a heartbreaking true story about Mayada and her imprisonment in cell 52. She speaks about the terrible, unjust imprisonment and torture of men and women and how she and the other prisoners cope with the "horror of it all". She speaks of her life before Saddam and also of the terrors inflicted on Iraqi citizens while he was in power.
I could not put this book down. It is very powerful reading. This book is very graphic and it really makes me thankful that I live in the United States of America.
