StThis story is so overwhelming that reviewing it as a book is not feasible because this is not a book. It is a story told extraordinarily well and presents many lessens, one of the most interesting being the value of a religion, including those whose foundation and practices many would find strange. The author is a true hero whose life after her capture by ISIS would not be something anyone would wish on their worst enemy. Some stories are so sad they are hard to read. There is nothing hard about reading this very sad but ultimately uplifting journal.
