What an incredible, heartwrenching story. Amina is a true survivor of a horrific childhood. Her writing is vivid and raw, but ultimately inspirational. She is an amazing example of how the human spirit can get through unimaginable horror, yet make a successful life for herself. You won't forget this book!
