Summary: A captivating testimony of tribulation and hope
Comment: A story of great courage and love and freedom lost. Malika recounts her family's fate with much candor, and eloquent simplicity that captivates you immediately. The Oufkir's family ties saw them through some of the most inhumane treatment one can imagine. I highly recommend this book.

Summary: Incredible true story about 9 survivors
Comment: This was an incredible story about 9 survivors, a mother and her children (ages 3 to 19 years) and two assistants, imprisoned inhumanely for 20 years in a Moroccon desert jail. They were political prisoners, innocent victims, for a crime they did not commit and which they were not tried for. They were taken away in the dead of the night and did not deserve the cruelties which they were to face for the next 20 years.
They were originally from upperclass society. Their youth, innocence and freedom were stolen from them and their lives changed forever. It is a heart-wrenching true story about courage, love, survival and a miracle!!
Although the story is amazing and unbelievable, the book was poorly written. It kept jumping around different time periods and sometimes it was difficult to keep track of the timeline of the story. I would still recommend everybody to read it because it's about survival and how a family overcame their worst nightmare. It will teach you about appreciation of more important things in life, the things we take for granted, rather than power, money and modern conveniences.

Summary: amazing
Comment: i recently read this book and loved it, it's facinating how someone can live through that with her whole family and continue to be that couragous. I was intrigued and would love to read more books by these two.
