Description
Mende Nazer's life was brutally cut short at twelve when her village in Sudan was attacked by the Mujahidin. She was abducted and sold into slavery, forced to endure seven long years of captivity.
Striped of her identity and freedom, Mende was treated as a domestic slave, with no pay or respite. Her existence was reduced to scraps of food and a hard floor for her bed. The uncertainty of her family's fate hung over her like a shadow.
This harrowing first-person account is a testament to the indomitable spirit of a young girl who refused to be broken. It is also a shocking insight into the modern day slave trade, a story that will leave you moved and disturbed.
