Surviving Girl

About This Novel

Nadia Murad was born in the city of Koho, Iraq, into a loving Yazidi community. She grew up hearing her elders tell about the multiple genocides her people had faced in history, but she never thought that beyond the town's borders, the "Islamic State" that began to control northern Iraq would annihilate Koho. In August 2014, when Nadia was 21, ISIS militants laid siege to the city of Coho and irrevocably changed the lives of everyone in the town. Nadia was captured by a group of brutal militants and suffered inhumane torture. Later, she was able to escape with the help of an extraordinary family who risked their lives to save her. After Nadia escaped, with the encouragement of lawyer Amal Clooney, she overcame her inner fear and worldly constraints, boldly stood on the United Nations podium, exposed to the world the heinous crimes committed by the "ISIS" terrorist organization, and at the same time published this survival memoir "The Girl Who Survived".
