This is a true story of a woman who comes from a prominent family in Iraq. She starts out a life of good fortune, but as Saddam's regime continues, her position changed. It tells the story of many people who were tortured and killed while he was in power.
The most heartbreaking to me where the neighbor boys who were around 14 and playing football in the street and were arrested because they "stared" at the police officers. Their mother asked Mayada to find them for her, she does but they are dead having been tortured. Eventually she was imprisoned and witnessed the torture first hand as a victim and witnessing her cell mates.
I tell you there have been times I have been conflicted about the war, but no matter we did the people of Iraq a huge favor by ousting Saddam. He was an evil, evil man as where the people that he was surrounded by.
