I started with two books in the month of January - Nabeel's Song and Daughters of Shame. Nabeel's Song by Jo Tatchell is a true story of one family's experience of life before, during and after the regime of Saddam Hussein. The compelling story of Nabeel and his family's refusal to bow to the Saddam regime is lyrically told in a way that takes you into their lives. Theirs was a story of an ordinary family mounting a rebellion against the Saddam regime and in the process paying the price. In Daughters of Shame, Sanghera reveals her own struggles as she is targeted for seeking to help these girls escape their own struggle.
