Book of the Week:

“I am Nujood, Age 10 and Divorced” by Nujood Ali and Delphine Minoui

A masterful narrative about
courage and strength

Category: Biography, Memoirs

This is an incredible new autobiography of a ten year old Yemeni girl who refused to conform to the obsolete traditions imposed by her community. Nunjood Ali is one of many girls who are forcibly married off by their families to men who are much older than they are. In this book, Nujood Ali demonstrates the courage and the unexpected audacity it took her to confront the customs she was raised in. With the help of Delphine Minoui, Nunjood masterfully owns a world in which she did not have a role before, giving voice to her story and to other girls who had her same fate.
