Such an interesting & informative book exploring the many rules attached to the authors devout upbringing. The heartache of separation for both parties when she left home and finally how she withstood rejection to live in her own life.

Read MoreI loved this book so much! Couldn’t put it down. I laughed. I cried. I learned so much, and I also really related to this story. I’m grateful for people who share their stories, because many of us are on similar journeys. I’m really moved by not just the sweet love story, but also by finding your voice, your strength and following your own path in life…

Read MoreI have read this memoir twice. Aside from the fascinating view of a culture that is so distinctly different from my own, the author’s words speak to the feelings common to all of mankind… Anger is not a part of this story. Rather it is a beautiful lesson in positivity and enthusiasm for living well and finding a personal path to joy and fulfillment. I respect and admire this woman wholeheartedly.

Read MoreThis book is magnificently written and I could not put it down. The author made me feel like a fly on the wall watching her life in real time. What a brave, intelligent, fearless warrior she is!!!!!! It’s not ever a book I would have chosen on my own…….it was a gift…….and wow, what a gift it was. I’m already trying to picture which actress should play her when they make the movie.
