A true story that shook Yemen, the Arab world, and even the entire globe. Set in Yemen, the heroine is Nujood, a young and beautiful girl with a dimple on her left cheek. She has many siblings and is ambitious, intelligent, and eager for life. Her father forces her to marry a man three times her age, erasing her smile and dimming her radiance. She embarks on an unprecedented journey of rebellion against her fate, bravely confronting courts, challenging trials, and rallying public opinion. Her struggle gains sympathy from all directions in an adventure that might lead to either death or triumph. The author, who lived through these events, did not neglect the unique aspects of Yemen, its beauty, architecture, history, resources, and lifestyle, making the reader feel as if they are present there.
