Abused women rarely tell their own stories. Many of them don’t survive their ordeals. And those who do are often either too afraid or too ashamed to speak.
If I Live to Tell is unique in that respect. It’s a real, first-person look at the world from the perspective of a woman who has endured tragedy, heartbreak, and betrayal at almost every point in her life. Akeela Hayder Green has gone through it all—abused and abandoned by her parents, forced into an arranged Muslim marriage in Iraq, betrayed and broken by the men who promised to love and protect her… If I Live to Tell may be her story, but it is also the story of millions of women worldwide who don’t have a voice.
Whether you are a victim struggling to cope with tragedy, a loved one trying to help someone recover from abuse, or just an honest inquirer with a curious heart, Akeela’s gripping first-person narrative has something to offer you. This is a story of how tragedy can become triumph and how pain can turn to purpose. This is a true story like you’ve never heard before.
Akeela Hayder Green has gone through it all -- abused and abandoned by her English mother and Iraqi father, forced into an arranged Muslim marriage, betrayed and broken by all the people who ever promised to love and protect her. Yet she survived it all and lived to tell her story... a story like nothing you've ever heard before.
