[Jane Dickey · Rating 5 out of 5]

One woman's struggle to find freedom from the oppression of Islam and an arranged marriage to discover the love of Jesus. Sabatina explores the differences in Islamic and western thought and beliefs. She shows that it is not just a religious difference but a social and familial one as well. Sabatina must chose between family, belonging and her new faith. There is no compromise. She finds new purpose in helping others who suffer for Christ's sake. One thing I appreciated with her story is that she explains why Muslims act in certain ways and believe as they do. I have read a number of books like this and Sabatina explains more than blames Islam for the lack of freedom for women. She also shows the West how nieve we are in our beliefs concerning Islam.
