Description
Sameem Ali's life was marked by abandonment and abuse. After being sent to live in a children's home, she was reunited with her family, only to face further hardship and violence. When she boarded a plane to visit her family's village in Pakistan, she was forced into marriage at just thirteen years old. This shocking true story follows Sameem's struggle to break free from her past and fight back against the abuse she suffered. Ali's experiences are a harrowing account of the consequences of violating her family's honour. Despite finding love and escaping to Manchester with her young son, she was unprepared for the repercussions of her actions. This book is a powerful exploration of the complexities of cultural expectations and the devastating impact of trauma on individuals and families. A heart-wrenching and thought-provoking read, Belonging is a testament to Ali's strength and resilience in the face of unimaginable adversity.
