The Girl with Three Legs

The publisher provided this book for review purposes.

Female genital mutilation is something that is so inconceivable for me since I grew up here in America. Soraya makes it incredibly real in her book The girl with three legs. I found myself emotionally entranced by her descriptions of life with her family. It was easy to understand how she could love her mother after doing such a thing since she was able to describe how her mother was forced into the same type of relationship. I found myself cheering and crying with her throughout the book. She adds a personal experience to an impersonal topic. I truly loved reading her story.
