By: James, Sabatina (Author).
Phoenix Books. Published: 01/06/2010. Audience Guide: General (US: Trade). Hardback. Sourced from U.S.A.
Sabatina James has been sentenced to death by her family. Sabatina spent half her childhood as an Islamic Pakistani living in Austria. Immersed in a westernized culture, she began to rebel against the stifling Islamic rules placed on women. Furious, her parents dragged her back to Pakistan under false pretences and announced an arranged engagement to her disrespectful cousin. After Sabatina refused the union, her family sent her by force to a strict Koran school where she endured constant beatings and mental abuse. In defiance of her oppressive conditions, she fled her family and converted to Christianity, an act deemed punishable by death in Islamic culture. Since then, her parents have pursued her to enact their retribution, causing Sabatina to live a lonely and reclusive life in hiding. But she has also persevered becoming an activist for women's rights and religious freedom. In the vein of Ayaan Hirsi Ali's "New York Times" bestseller "Infidel," Sabatina's memoir heartbreakingly illustrates the struggle of a young woman trapped between two incompatible cultures and her subsequent fight for freedom. This translation includes a new introduction in which Sabatina updates her readers on her life since the book's initial publication. Item Details
