This book is going to stay with me. It's such a moving story that draws you in, makes you a part of it. The writing is simple, yet I felt immersed in the lives of Mariam and Laila. Having finished the book, I feel a little like I'm parting ways with a good friend I haven't gotten to know as well as I'd hoped to. And as I've said before, that's how you know you've read a good book.

The fact that the things that happen in the book is an all too real reality for some, only makes it an even more emotional read. I'm glad to get a glimpse of what life was/is like for women in the middle east. God be with them.

Another good read. I highly recommend this one.
