In April 2014, the world awoke to the shocking news that the terrorist group Boko Haram had kidnapped nearly 300 school-aged girls and taken them deep into the forests of Nigeria. During several visits to Nigeria over four years, the author sat down with the girls and their families and conducted hundreds of hours of interviews, listening to horrific stories of capture, rape and torture, as well as escapes and excommunications. She also portrays strong women fighting against the terrorist group in their own powerful ways. This is raw, honest and heartbreaking storytelling at its best. 320 pages hc
