This is such a great memoir. What Halima has to go through from her nearly idyllic childhood, at least until having to endure the tradition of female circumcision through her teen years on into university to become a medical doctor and afterwards. What she and millions of others had to go through during the genocide in Darfur. It is remarkable that she stayed so strong throughout the ordeal. My only complaint with this book was that it could have been better edited. There were several word and phrases that should have been proofread and corrected; for this I almost gave it 4 stars, but after thinking about what to write in my review, I reconsidered and gave it 5 stars on Goodreads, pushing it back to 4.5 stars.
