    “Book Descriptions: "I'm a simple village girl whose family had to move to the capital, and I have always obeyed the orders of the men in my family. Since forever, I have learned to say yes to everything. Today, I have decided to say no."

    Forced by her father to marry a man three times her age, young Nujood Ali was sent away from her parents and beloved sisters, and made to live with her husabnd and his family in an isolated village in rural Yemen. There she suffered daily from physical and emotional abuse by her mother-in-law and nightly at the rough hands of her spouse. Flouting his oath to wait until she was no longer a child, he took her virginity on their wedding night. She was only ten years old.

    Unable to endure the pain and distress any longer, Nujood fled - not for home, but to the courthouse of the capital, paying for her taxi with a few precious coins of bread money. When a renowned Yemeni lawyer heard about the young victim, she took on Nujood's case and fought the archaic system in a country where there is a conspiracy of silence about the fact that almost half the girls are married under the legal age.

    Nujood now tells her full story for the first time. As she guides us from the magical, fragrant streets of the Old City of Sana'a to the cement block slums and rural villages of this ancient land, her unflinching look at an injustice suffered by all too many girls around the world is at once shocking, inspiring and utterly unforgettable.”
