And it hit home as i am a african myself. I cannot believe how she could manage to servive all this brutel treatment. It teaches the rest of the world that still empower slavery that no one has to right to be treated this way and they should free them and that God has created us all equally. We all deserve to be treated as human begings. I thank you so much for writing this book some how it made me stronger and gived me more courage to live life to the fullest and thank God for what i have and pray for others which are still in slavery or much more difficult situations than me...... Best regards, Nusha Wow i just finished reading this great book Slave of Mente. And it hit home as i am a african myself.

Responding to your comment slipped away from me. At the time that I read the book she was still living in Sudan. She had been in contact with her family but it was to dangerous to go back. I haven't heard of Desert Flower before. I'll go look it up right now. Malaeola - I can't stop reading stories either that are really sad. Jan – My apologies.

Malaeola – I can’t stop reading stories either that are really sad.

Does anyone know what has happened to her since the book? Has she ever returned to Sudan? The book reminded me of Desert Flower, again a tragic story of modern day slavery that pupils find hard to believe.

I too found it hard to put down and also had my hand over my mouth with the chapter about the circumcision. There is another book called, Sold by Zana Mushen, one by her mother Miriam Ail - Without Mercy and another by Zana - A promise to Nadia. These too are interesting reading and make you so thankful for they society in which you are bought up in. Add this to your TBR pile. Hi, I have just finished reading this book.

I had to google her just to get to see what she looks like now.. in my mind i cannot help to think what a Brave "girl".. The book is yet another massage for many of us.. (esp Myself) in God's lessons about FAITH and PATIENCE.
