Fighters from the so-called Islamic State attacked her village, massacring hundreds--including her mother and six of her brothers--and forcing her, along with thousands of Yazidi women and girls, into ISIS's system of sexual slavery. Her life since then has been split in two. In one she is a global symbol of courage --a survivor and activist who has stood before world leaders to demand justice. In the other, she is a woman learning how to be a friend, a student, a wife; a woman rediscovering ordinary joy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eI Choose My Beginning\u003c\/i\u003e, Nadia brings these two selves together. With honesty and grace, she transforms the pain of her past into a life defined not by what was done to her, but by strength, perseverance, and the freedom to choose happiness. From reshaping international law to building a life filled with friendship and love, Nadia carries the memory of those she lost and those who survived. Their presence reminds her--and all of us--that she has always been more than a victim. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePowerful and deeply inspiring, \u003ci\u003eI Choose My Beginning \u003c\/i\u003eis the story of an extraordinary woman reclaiming her humanity--and showing that survival is not the end of the story. It is the beginning.","brand":"S\u0026s\/Summit Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50510325285057,"sku":"9781668097052","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.porchlightbooks.com\/products\/i-choose-my-beginning-nadia-murad-9781668097052","provider":"Porchlight Book Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
