商品簡介
Khadija al-Salami's father was lost to her through shell shock, leaving the little girl to fend for herself and her family in a man's world. Her first battles were with her grandfather, who wished to separate her from her mother, and also with her uncle, who married her to a friend against her will at the age of 11. After a failed suicide attempt, Khadija repented and saw that education and hard work could help her escape the trauma of her early life. She studied hard and took a job at the local television station earning enough money to finance her education.
This book is not only the story of a courageous young woman, but also that of her country's struggle to overcome years of civil war and become again the land of milk and honey, once inhabited by the legendary Queen of Sheba.
