Her name is Suad. She was born in an Arab village on the west bank of the Jordan River.
When she was ten years old, she saw her mother give birth in secret. Her baby sister, who was barely born, was immediately strangled - killing a newborn girl is not a crime here, but a way out of shame. Suad spent the rest of her childhood trembling with fear for her life. Deprived of all rights, doing the hardest work in the household, she was daily subjected to cruel beatings and insults from her father. And at seventeen Suad fell in love and became pregnant.... The family's verdict was merciless: the daughter was doused with gasoline and set on fire. Miraculously this girl managed to survive, but her body was forever covered with scars, as well as her soul ... It was only years later that she was able to tell the whole world about her terrible fate, and her confession made millions of hearts tremble.
