Brohi paints a beautiful picture of Pakistan, where family and tradition are important but where the dark side of some traditions can lead to violence. Before the author was born, her father decided to eschew some of those customs, refusing to give his daughter to another family as an exchange bride. This small but meaningful act was the start of Brohi's path to becoming an advocate for women's rights. She's since traveled the world teaching others about Pakistan's lesser-known cultural practices. Throughout her memoir, she details her personal and professional struggles and successes, including her efforts with the WAKE UP campaign as well as the nonprofit Sughar Foundation. She addresses how her work has affected her family and, at times, herself, all while explaining lessons learned along the way. In the process, she offers readers a better understanding of her home country and its people.
VERDICT Recommended for anyone interested in Pakistan or women's rights. Fans of Malala Yousafzai will also enjoy.
